Summary
- The Klingon threat was escalating in the early part of the decade, though it ebbs and flows through this and the next decade.[1][2]
- There are no resources for building starbases at the rate required to support operations on the faraway Klingon border.[1]
- The Mann and Ranger class light cruisers form Starfleet’s main defense against the Klingons, ‘holding the fort’ until ships designed from the outset to oppose the warrior empire are fielded.[3]
- Mid-decade: Starfleet finally has projects ongoing on all the types of warship it needs for halting a potential Klingon invasion.[4]
- The Baton Rouge heavy cruisers and Detroyat and Saladin destroyers start replacing the Manns and Rangers in the contested Federation/Klingon space.[5]
- Starfleet struggles to find a suitable replacement for the PB-21 nacelle for the Burke series frigates.[6]
- Starfleet decides the stratagem of quality over missing quantity is proven insufficient: the two main lines of destroyers are spread too thin on the battlefronts to amass to decisive strength and the cruisers are in the wrong place in the wrong time.[7]
Years
Events
- By this decade, most Texas class light cruisers are relegated to in-system, sublight patrol duty.[8]
- The last Y class transports cease operation in the Federation (per official records) this decade.[9]
- The remaining Ganges class destroyers (long grounded) are scrapped for construction materials.[10]
- The Watt class fleet tanker/transports are ordered de-commissioned and sold for scrap.[11]
- The Ariadne class patrol corvettes (and its subclasses) are collectively painted more subdued colors and sensor-absorbing coatings, in order to better hide from aggressors.[12]
- The Selenia Mk 1 torpedo launch system is dubbed a ‘heavy’ weapon.[13]
- Several partial studies that examine a conversion of the Kovaris light destroyers into scouts are conducted.[14]
- The last convoy operations are held to counter Klingon border raids, until exercises in the mid-2260s.[15]
