Lincoln Class (2182)

The Lincoln class was designed as a further development of the Daedalus class at the end of the 22nd century, and subsequently formed a backbone of Starfleet, together with the Moskva class. Most of the ships were built in the newly established Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. The laser guns and impulse drive were improved and, in addition, a deflector "dish" was installed for the first time. The spherical bow section was detachable, but without propulsion system. The second series of this class was supplied with more powerful weapons systems, including photon torpedoes, and improved shields. Although the laser guns of the Lincoln class turned out inferior to Klingon disruptors, thanks to their shields the ships could sustain a battle with superior enemy forces. In 2222, U.S.S. Passat NCC-525 withstood the attack of three Klingon D-2a light cruisers with only minor damage and without any casualties, until the Klingons could be lured into the Hromi Cluster where the Federation had installed automated defense platforms which destroyed one of the Klingon ships and forced the two others to retreat. On the other hand, U.S.S. Waterloo, a ship that was due to be retired, fell victim to a Klingon sneak attack in the Becker system in 2224. This was the incentive to withdraw all the old ships from the border and to upgrade a number of selected Lincoln-class ships to new standards.
