Himalaya Class Modified

The five starships of the second series of the Himalaya class are equipped with a significantly improved warp drive, which is based on the system used in the Nebula class. The modified ships can easily be distinguished from their predecessors by their different warp nacelles. The nacelle type was newly developed for the Himalaya class. Another change is that the photon torpedo tubes were moved to the saucer underside, and that the second shuttlebay in the engineering hull undercut was omitted in favor of an enlarged main shuttlebay in the saucer. Moreover, the ships were commissioned with improved phaser arrays and a second-generation holographic projection system. However, manufacturing of Himalaya-class ships was discontinued after only seven years, since more powerful explorers such as the Galaxy and Nebula classes would be available in the upcoming 2360's and also a large number of Buenos Aires-class ships was already in service.
