	~~<br><br>~~		* ''USS Monoceros'' (NCC-601) was referenced in [[Guide: Constitution (refit)]] as having tested the [[LN-52]] warp nacelle in a ''dorsal'' configuration, while still equipped with the ventrally-mounted [[PB-31]], which would be removed in [[2270]]. I've decided the testing took place over the [[2268]]-[[2269]] period.

Destroyer procurement cutbacks threatened to leave many of the vessels without a mission. As all had already received the powerful [[PB-31]] solid-state/dilithium engines, Mk II transporters, expanded primary hulls and superstructures, and the new low-profile bridge modules, the scouts were now virtually new-model ''Siva'' subclass destroyers without torpedoes. Also, fourteen newbuild ships of this standard (named the '''''Monoceros''''' subclass after the first of these newbuilds, but sometimes also known as ''Hermes II'') had been constructed just before the post-[[Axanar]] moratorium on destroyer production.*
