COMBAT PERFORMANCE: The Miranda Class has been in service since the 2280's, and has gone through many major refits in its long life span. During the Dominion War, the Miranda performed well, despite its age and somewhat sluggish manueverability. It possessed one of the highest casualty rates, and scores served during the war.

TYPE: Medium Cruiser (Frigate).
ACCOMODATION: 190 officers and crew; 500 personnel evacuation limit.
POWER PLANT: One 1500 plus Cochrane warp core feeding two nacelles; one impulse system.
DIMENSIONS: Length, 364.77 meters; beam, 225.61 meters; height, 52.48 meters.

PERFORMANCE: Warp 9.7 for 12 hours.
ARMAMENT: Six type-10 phaser emitters; two photon torpedo launchers.
KNOWN SHIPS: USS Budapest
COMBAT PERFORMANCE: The Norway Class served well during the Dominion conflict, and had one of the lowest casualty rates. Though many of the class did serve on the front lines, others instead replaced ships of the Excelsior and Steamrunner classes for frontline duty. The Norway has a different shield system than most Federation Starships, and this has sometimes been in need of great repair when entering combat.
