Star Trek: 10 Secrets About The USS Enterprise-F You Need To Know
8. Now For The Stats
The best resource for information on the Enterprise-F is Star Trek Online and in the official breakdown for the vessel, there are some interesting morsels to digest.
Built at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard, the starship carries 18 Mark XII phaser arrays, four variable payload warhead launchers, two phaser turrets, and two heavy phaser cannon mounts. Certainly a lot of firepower in comparison to its forebears.
One feature that has continued from both the D and the E is the ability to separate the saucer. In this case, it's not just to provide a lifeboat function but also a separate battle section with the potential to allow for an all-out two-pronged attack. The F was designed to combat the larger threats of the galaxy such as the Borg and as such, both parts of the ship are capable of holding their own - similar to the experimental USS Prometheus.
Nestled alongside the array of shuttles, visitors might find an Argo (Star Trek Nemesis) as well as two Yellowstone Class Runabouts. Those were only ever seen on Voyager in season two's Non Sequitur. Alongside these support ships, there is also a Captain's Yacht as well as the previously noted Aquarius that can again provide additional battle support where needed.
