	More than a hundred of these large craft were sold as couriers to various [[Federation]] customers; Panastris was unable to secure rights to offer the PB-60 to foreign markets, and there would have been no point in offering the craft with a lesser engine. Government orders followed after a more heavily armed and provisioned Flight II variant was introduced. The most visible change was replacement of pod berths with twin Type IV phasers, giving the model serious firepower for gunboat missions. A final batch of fifty was added in the [[2270s\|early seventies]], before the benefits of linear excitation warp drives began to trickle down to this size range of starcraft.

	[[Star Fleet Training Command]] made use of fifteen of the craft (NCC-T6000-T6014), gradually selling them forward to the civilian market in a stripped-down configuration until just three were left. These soldiered on until [[2324]], providing practical training in high speed astrogation and allowing for extended missions involving large numbers of trainees. Forty more saw brief service in armed light scouting and courier duty, with regular registries in the NCC-7140 to -7179 range. These were attached to border starbases and outposts, and continued the work of the smaller ''[[Guide:Archer\|Archer]]'' scouts under their commercial class name ''Ranger'', despite name conflict with the frontier cruisers from the beginning of the century.
