In wet navies a smallish "escort", patrol and general-purpose utility warship. But to be fair, the Corpus probably hasn't even *seen* seagoing navies for centuries (plus large bodies of liquid water -or *anything*- ought not exactly be common in the frigid outer parts of the system where their territory mostly lies) so their usage of the related terminology has probably drifted more than a little.
