Best Answer

The term "Trim Cruiser" is an old nautical reference used during the days of sailing vessels in the Navy, not a reference to a specific class of ship.

A "Trim Cruiser" in nautical terms referred to a sailing ship whose sails were "trimmed", i.e., rigged to get the most out of the available wind. With modern vessels, it's a reference to a ship that's getting the best headway/speed given her propulsion and the current ocean environment in which it's operating.
