The most famous classes (of warships)? Without a doubt...the Fletcher class destroyers of WWII.

2nd place would go to the USS Yorktown class aircraft carriers (of which only the USS Enterprise survived...only to be scrapped in 1959).

3rd place would go to the Gato class US subs.

It wouldn't be fair to bring up the US battleships...all they did was get sunk at Pearl Harbor, or have a surrender ceremony on their decks. US battleships fought no decisive battleship fleet actions (Leyte Gulf & Admiral Oldendorf's engagement may have been the last battleship to battleship fight...but it certainly wasn't a great clash of dreadnaughts...as the IJN battleships had been chewed up by PT boats and destroyers before they even reached Oldendorf's battleline, and then it was only TWO Japanese battleships).
