C6 class is very similar to the C5 class (5315t - 6x191+6x120 and 27kts).
Differences relate to the arrangement of the (classic) 6 x 191 arranged at the ends (ABC) (XYZ) B & X superfiring.
Speed also increased to 29kts, the range goes from 6500nm-12kts to 8000nm-12kts.

C7 class is very similar to the C6 class
Byzantine did'nt choose the new T3x191 too heavy for 5500t -150m length - 29kts speed limitations, but the C6 class disposition.
