The SLDF and the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] before them were known to have operated five classes of battleship. As the ''[[Dreadnought (WarShip class)|Dreanought]]'' class was effectively retired after the [[Reunification War]],<ref name="H:RWp222">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 222–223: "Dreadnought-class WarShip"</ref> and as the ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]'' didn't enter production until [[2652]],<ref name=TRO:3057p162>''Technical Readout: 3057 Revised'', p. 162: "McKenna WarShip Profile"</ref> the ''Arkansas'' was therefore either a ''[[Farragut]]'', ''[[Monsoon]]'', or ''[[Texas]]''-class battleship.

Relatively few ''Farraguts'' and ''Monsoons'' have been named in canon, and many of the ''Texas'' class appear to have been renamed by the Clans. However, the ''Monsoon'' class ships to have been named so far in canon are the ''[[Cochran (Individual Monsoon-class WarShip)|Cochran]]'', ''[[THS Barham|Barham]]'', ''[[THS Richelie|Richelie]]'', and ''[[THS Thunderer|Thunderer]]'', while the ''Texas'' class included a number of ships named after cities, states and regions on Terra, including the ''[[SLS Moscow|Moscow]]'', ''[[SLS Nebraska|Nebraska]]'', ''[[Perth (Individual Texas-class WarShip)|Perth]]'', and ''[[SLS Wales|Wales]]''. Given that the ''Texas'' class appears to have been named after a state within the [[United States of America]] (USA), and the class has been positively confirmed as including at least one ship named after one of those states, the ''Nebraska'', it is more likely, but not certain, that the ''Arkansas''—sharing a name with another state in the USA—was a ''Texas''-class battleship. As the ''Texas'' was a replacement for the ''Monsoon'' class in service, it's unlikely that the ''Texas'' and ''Farragut'' classes shared naming conventions, but not impossible.
