Star Trek: Every Starfleet Starship Class Ranked Worst To Best

46. Cheyenne

The Cheyenne Class is another class of ship that saw action during the Battle of Wolf 359. The USS Ahwannee was the luckiest ship, in a manner of speaking, of the entire armada, as it is listed as the only surviving vessel from the onslaught.

The ship, while heavily damaged, was salvaged and repaired - later seeing action during the Federation blockage of the Klingon-Romulan border.

The ship was similar to the design of the Constellation class, with four warp nacelles rather than three. This also is evocative of the original design for the USS Excelsior, which saw four short nacelles encircling the end of the drive section.

This was another of the kit-bash models designed for use in that episode alone. Although the Ahwannee appeared in Redemption, it was in name only.
