Description and Notes
Fleet data: Utilizing an unusual four-nacelle design, the vessels of the Constellation-class were intended for exploration duties, and thus to assume the roles of the aging Constitution-class starships. While the four-nacelle arrangement did not take, the design was a successful one, and these ships became a common sight in Federation space. Some thirty vessels of this type were produced.

Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: U.S.S. Constellation, prototype; U.S.S. Gettysburg; U.S.S. Hathaway; U.S.S. Magellan; U.S.S. Stargazer, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard for 22 years, lost in the battle of Maxia; U.S.S. Victory.
