Star Trek: Every Starfleet Starship Class Ranked Worst To Best

The class had a larger saucer section than the California class and contained more advanced equipment. Its design consisted of a saucer section with two warp nacelles mounted on pylons to the lower-aft sides and two primary impulse engines on the aft face of the saucer.

An underslung secondary hull with a front-facing deflector dish rested just beneath the aft of the saucer, attached to the saucer with a pair of curved pylons.

Its interiors were similar to the California class, though it was an upgrade. It was primarily involved in 'more important' missions than its smaller sisters ships. The USS Vancouver remains the first of its kind that has been seen on-screen to date.
