These look to be the right size to be torpedo launchers. Near the front, is a pod on either side of the hull, supported on upward-sloping pylons. The ship has a much flatter, alligator-like snout. This ship is condiderably flatter, with a much more compact profile and appears to be slightly smaller and more compact in general.
Type-B - Stealth Cruiser From a distance, this ship can be confused for the one above but on closer inspection there are a number of differences. This appears to have two exhaust ports facing rearwards. There is also a pod or structure underneath the hull. The rectangular engine pods feature four intakes at the front and a circular engine port with 24 individual thrusters. Two small domes are visible on each side of the bow possibly point-defence guns or sensors. This makes sense in terms of protecting the crew from head-on attack. Interestingly, the window lights are all towards the back of the ship. While this ship is a tiny fraction of the size of a carrier, it is still a very substantial size, judging from the number of decks indicated by its window lights. The hull has a large hangar bay door in its side towards the bow, apparently large enough for an ISSCV to enter. On the deck are a large number of protrusions, which appear to be missile doors or small, pop-up turrets. The front of the ship is covered with many forward-facing yellow antennas. This makes me think that this ship may be a guided missile cruiser with a vertial launch system. They clearly have a large number of protrusions on their decks possibly small turrets or missile doors. Type-A - Missile Cruiser / Electronic Warfare Vessel The Type-A has a mostly rectangular hull with a steeply sloping front, two large engine pods on downward-sloping pylons and a large, raised bridge module at the rear. In many cases, Photoshop had so little contrast and to work with that the image just became scrambled, at which point, I tried to boost the contrast by a lesser degree manually. In order to get a better look at them, I took some screen captures from these scenes in Media Player Classic and boosted the contrast in Photoshop. Unfortunately, the appearances of these ships are very brief, the craft are seldom in the foreground and the footage is very dark, making the ships very difficult to discern.
