Gorn Oddities
Here, you will see some of the new Hull Classifications the Gorn invented in the General War and just before.
Heavy Destroyer (HDD) MD-1 Class
The Gorn were the only ones to make a Heavy Destroyer, to develop a stronger Destroyer for squadron/fleet combat and convoy escort, and to disguise a couple of projects by not making them seem like Medium, or even Light Cruisers, but instead like cheaper Destroyers. This Class was a potent combat vessel, and became a prominent one-on-one combatant, and even went in and out of the Class VII or less Treaty Zone near Cestus III.

Medium Cruiser (CM) MC-2 Class
This ship, with almost the firepower of a Battlecruiser, was designated to avoid confusion with several MA and SX range CAs and BCs, thus founding a new hull classification. Medium Cruisers are as medium-size as possible, while packing heavy cruiser firepower, and falling in between heavy and light cruiser capability. The Ceratosaurus-Class became a potent jack-of-all-trades, and one of the few smaller vessels to use heavy plasma.

The first wedgelike Gorn design was developed to give off a smaller profile, and to make use of the new Photon Torpedoes, and the NE-AX-2 was a unique, larger vessel used in mobile construction and repair, using unique systems, which were difficult to construct and expensive, resulting in no more using these systems being built.
MC-3 "Velociraptor" Class VI Medium Cruiser
The MC-3 was one of the longest, sleekest Gorn vessels ever designed, and following on the BHU-1 "Salamander" in 2277, it was decided to produce a long-range picket ship good for "Recon-In-Force" Missions. The Velociraptors were nimble vessels relying on torpedo firepower to take out an enemy.
BH-5 "Godzilla" Class XV Battleship
The BH-5 was one of several attempts to fight off the Hassans and Romulans with bigger, 'slugfest' oriented warships, and while there was much trouble in finding engines big enough to move the behemoth, the Gorn finally managed it and launched the prototype on October 2nd, 2283, which at first, easily destroyed six smaller, Destroyer/Escort type ships, two Romulan, four Hassan, but then as the two races got more crafty with their tactics, the GCS Godzilla immediately began to struggle, and 'slugfest' ships were only marginally effective against 1X ships, and the nimble, atmospheric variable weaponry Hassan warships, with the prototype badly damaged after a particularly bloody fleet battle on April 14th, 2284, and sent to the lone main Drydock/Orbital Station of Ghdar, out of service for the rest of the General War, only taken out for a public display when the Gorn joined the Federation, to show more of the Gorn Culture and Technology, and put into the Spaceflight Museum at Memory Alpha when the Utopianists took over, and the National Fleets were disbanded.

BH-11 "Dreadnoughtus" Class XIV Battleship
In addition to a widened triple-saucer of the BH-5, some Gorn designers experimented with a new, larger hull using the somewhat older Wedgelike Hullform, named doubly appropriately; due to the T-Rex Devouring giant dinosaur and to the HMS Dreadnought heralding a new era in Capital Warships, and although they were close construction, a last-minute order had the shipyard at Ghdar turn instead to mass-producing two Destroyer and six PF squadrons at once, and the BH-11 remained conjecture.
