Constitution class cruisers were among the most renowned vessels of their time. Serving as both a research vessel and a cruiser, these ships performed their duties to perfection for the majority of the 23rd century. The Constitution class ships were an integral part of the buildup during "The Great Awakening," from the outset the most versatile of all ships built for the expansion efforts. Constitution class starships included the acclaimed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[10] In 2266, only twelve of these ships were in existence.[11] Constitution class starships used Duotronic computers, based on designs developed by Dr. Richard Daystrom in 2243.[12]
