When refits in the late 2350s and early 60s added holodecks to the Ambassadors along with provisions for civilians, the added burden on the support systems was barely noticed, a testament to the forward thinking of the vessel’s designers. Of the 38 Ambassador-class starships bult between 2329 and 2376, 17 Mk IIIs and 3 Mk IVs remain in service. One Mk I, and four Mk IIs and ten Mk IIIs have been destroyed in the line of duty. One Mk II was declared lost, presumed destroyed, and one Mk II and one Mk III were scrapped due to extensive damage. Production ended in 2376 with the commissioning of the USS Hornet at the San Francisco Fleet Yards at Terra. Development and Construction History: Flight 1 Ambassador-class starships: Ambassador-Enterprise First six vessels completed to initial design specs. Later refit to Block II and Block III specifications at 10 and 20 year intervals respectavely. Flight 2 Ambassador-class starships: Langley-Invincible Most numerous type of the Ambassador-class. Improvements include the first generation penta-transducing deflector shield system, an expanded crew compliment, a more powerful impulse drive and an improved sensor suite. Also sports an additional shuttlebay on the aft fantail and a new deflector array. All vessel of this type were refit to the Block III specifications during their scheduled 20 year upgrade cycle. Flight 3 Ambassador-class starships: Goliath-Discovery Sports advancements made during the Galaxy-class design project including an improved version of the FIWA-2 warp drive, the new FP-10 torpedo launcher, the FSS-M deflector shield system, and the most advanced lab and sensor facilities available. Flight 4 Ambassador-class starships: Exeter-Hornet Last Ambassador type in production. Fit with the modern FUWR-1 warp drive, larger fuel tanks and an exploration capability second only to the Galaxy-class. Further equipped with a hybrid bioneural/isolinear computer system to take up the processing loads required from the new drive system and sensor suite.
