I've converted the ships from http://ruscumag.wordpress.com/requests/14-surface-and-space-naval-units/ into BT units with (more than a little) creative license since he has Vulcans and other systems that are not found in Battletech and I used real world ships to help make these).  There are at least two illegal units that I built anyway and I've not worried about BT timelines as usual.  I changed some of the names to not sound so much like modern day warships.  As always corrections and critiques are welcome.

While the era of massive surface “battleships” came to an end long ago – in much the same fashion that the age of massive jump “warships” has drawn to a close in the present – lost colonies sometimes revive all kinds of peculiar things.

The Patton of wargame design, the Berg himself, is being immortally quoted elsewhere.
"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

The most massive, and perhaps the most potent, planet bound war machines ever designed, the Obsidian-class carriers were victims of their own strength. An enemy simply COULD NOT be permitted to employ such a unit in battle – no matter what the cost. Nuclear weaponry, suicide-attacks, sabotage, and treachery accomplished such destruction far more easily then simple battle.

Designed for combat at long range, these classical missile frigates make for boring duty; you will probably never actually see your enemy, and can do little besides fire missiles at each other. The ships short-range weaponry is designed for last-chance attempts to shoot down incoming missiles and for intimidating smugglers and such, not for genuinely serious combat.

The basic idea of a patrol boat hasn’t changed very much in 5000 years. Whether it’s a raft carrying some guys with bows and shields up to the fastest hydrofoil variants, they’re floating boxes carrying a pile of weapons. While relatively cheap and effective, they are effectively limited to genuinely large bodies of water. Modest rivers and such simply will not do.

Essentially a raider and screening unit, the Moray is notable for its use in rear-echelon raids and extensive use of remote-operated drones. It was, however, never designed to deal with major opposition. It’s intended to sneak up on relatively undefended spots.

A rarity in the deployable armed forces, but fairly common among the militia, the Excelsior is designed to deter orbital bombardments. While less heavily armored then a true planetary defense installation, it has the advantage of being able to change it’s position. The subcapital lasers make the vessel a formidable menace to dropships and incoming aerospace fighters.

Intended to launch and support an full-scale attack against a sizable town, a military outpost, or similar target, the Poseidon usually equips its infantry with inflatable assault rafts or some similar device. As an alternative, this vessel is occasionally equipped with light hunter-killer submarines – making it a formidable danger to oceangoing forces.

A classic destroyer; fast, fairly heavily armed – and equipped with long-range missiles, and a massive battery of depth-charges. Its “light vehicles” are ordinarily scout- or attack-class VTOL’s. Sadly, like most of the massive units, it’s quite vulnerable to smaller ones – and so, unlike Submarines (Which can hide – and are very useful in hauling things around secretly) and carriers (Not totally obsolete, but rare these days; most units can be shipped around without having to build a mobile base for them), direct-combat “wet” naval vessels like this one are virtually extinct.

The Brigadoon is actually fairly “common” on worlds with extensive oceans, running disaster relief, search and rescue, salvage, exploration, resource exploitation, and similar practical missions. It’s most often employed in a military capacity when a world’s defenders need a secret, and easily mobile, repair and supply center.

Annoyingly, a single Insurgent can often load up, and conceal for weeks the entire garrison of many lightly defended worlds. This kind of thing can get extremely annoying – especially when they pop up again later.

The Poseidon’s big brother – and something very nasty to find knocking at your back door. The “Phantom” is usually fitted with an array of stealth systems, and can often lurk underwater undetected for a month or more – before unloading a major strike force in an area which an invader had thought was well-secured.

A serious aircraft carrier, the Nightwind can bring enough bombs and firepower to bear to challenge almost any invasion force. “Taking out” the aircraft carriers is almost a requirement for a successful invasion.

"Taking out” the aircraft carriers is almost a requirement for a successful invasion. The countermeasure was, of course, to invent a submersible aircraft carrier. The Arsenal-class submersible aircraft carrier can “only” carry thirty fighters, and moves at 5/8 when submerged – but has identical statistics otherwise to the Nightwind.
