	Four years after the first of the veteran ''Horizon'' subclass heavy cruisers and ''Advance'' subclass battle cruisers received their Flight II upratings, newbuilds of even greater advancement were commissioned into frontline service with [[Star Fleet]]. The battle cruiser variant continued the homage to the hero vessels of the ''[[Guide: Daedalus\|Daedalus]]'' class of the preceding generation with the ''USS Essex'' (NCC-1350), the first in this latest subclass. With the same weapons loadout of the ''Advance'' Flt IIs, as well as the same overall dimensions, a position paper about the ship would not appear to do it justice: the ship had a secondary hull design borrowed and modified from the failed ''Indomitable'' experiment, providing it an immense internal volume unavailable to its predecessors. This increased the ship's range and endurance, due to the enormous increase in fuel and supplies carried (when compared to the older, converted cruisers). The higher standard of accommodation was also appreciated by her crew. The PB-22 warp nacelle was a slight improvement on the PB-18, decreasing individual unit mass for the same performance characteristics, through more advanced (but smaller) primary buffer panels and an intercooler that maximized efficiency with increased length (but less of a physical footprint).

	While the ''[[Guide: Baton Rouge\|Baton Rouge]]'' class was also first commissioned in the same year ([[2222]]), the operational history of the ''Advance'' subclass allowed for instant familiarity for the ''Essex'' and her sisters, meaning the ships were at the forefront of Star Fleet's strategic defense policy for a few of their early years. However, as the more modern heavy cruisers increased their numbers and operational responsibilities, the production of the subclass was quickly slashed to seven (from the envisioned twenty). In the end, these newest of the ''Horizon'' series still failed to provide the expectations of acceleration, agility, speed, or range to meet modern military standards or ambitions. Hence, Star Fleet would consider how additional upgrades could provide boosts in power and propulsive performance, in a direct impact to what would eventually result in the ''[[Guide: Constitution\|Constitution]]'' class heavy cruiser of the [[2240s]]. The last ''Essex'' would be decommissioned in ''2251''.
