There are multiple classes of vessels known as Cape class:
Cape-class cutter, 95-foot cutters built for the United States Coast Guard circa 1950
Cape-class maintenance ship, modified World War II freighters that served in the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and Royal Netherlands Navy
Cape-class motor life boat, 47 motor lifeboats first introduced into the Canadian Coast Guard in 1999
Cape-class patrol boat, a class of eight large patrol boats operated by the Australian Border Force
Cape class is sometimes used as a synonym for capesize — cargo vessels too large to transit the Suez Canal
