I'd say x3 is a more common ratio. Dreadnoughts (and battlecruisers) were roughly 25KTons (smaller if pre-WWI USN ships, because congress wouldn't pay for bigger). Cruisers were ~7KTons, and not yet at the 10Kton mark. Treaty battleships were capped at 35KTons, and cruisers at 10KTons. By WWII when cruisers had grown to 15-16KTons, battleships were in the 45KTon+ range. BTW, destroyers were about 1/5th to 1/3rd the displacement of cruisers, giving a pleasing x3/step increase (very pleasing if you happen to use GURPS Spaceships for your ship design work).
