History

After the introduction of the SSWR-IIIB reactor and the improved SSWR-IIIC reactors in 2158 and 2159, several additional ship classes based on the Bison hull entered service. The Farragut-class fleet monitor (FMM-1) had been designed to provide fire support for contested planetary landings. The ventral forehull was modified to carry six vertical launch tubes for Grand Slam orbit-to-ground attack missiles. Below the first section of the secondary hull was an Ultra Zeus orbit-ground pulse laser mounted in a ball turret. Although five Farragut-class ships had been built by the end of hostilities, the projected landings upon Romulan-held planets never took place and none of the ships saw action in their intended role. However, the nine Farragut-class ships were transferred to Starfleet after 2161 and with refits and upgrades continued in service until 2215.

The Farragut-class fleet monitor UES Hartford (FMM-3) is now on display at the Starfleet Museum.
