Ok, I have an idea floating around in my head, but I am curious about the weight classes for warships. What is the tonnage ranges for each class?

Corvette:
Frigate:
Destroyer:
Cruiser:
Heavy cruiser:

And anything above the HC would be battleship. Curious because they seen to overlap in some cases.

Anything you want it to be...

Corvettes have been 400,000 tons and smaller (mostly smaller)...
Destroyers have been from 400,000 tons to almost 700,000...
Frigates have been between 500,000 and 800,000 tons
Cruisers (of various types) have been as low as 500,000 to as much as 1,500,000 tons...
Battleships have been 1,100,000 tons and bigger...

A lot of it depends on time frame, and nation...much like the real world...

Primary issue with that is that there are several existing units that don't meet these restrictions...Vincent, Cruiser, Soyal all come immediately to mind...era also plays a major factor...

1000 miniatures? For a grand? You could slowly liquidate all of them and probably make 5-10x what you paid for them, just on the minis alone. Possibly more given unseen.

Very nice haul...

If designing Warships, I like to place an emphasis on placing the big guns in the side-locations and smaller AAA guns in the fore, aft, and broadsides.

Depending what those minis are you could make a serious dent in that grand just with those.

I still have two or three bins left to pick up. I might sell some off but not sure at this point.
