It is noteworthy as the first warp-capable class equipped with launch tubes and thermonuclear hydrogen-fusion torpedoes. The class will see 120 built, and will remain in service until 2095. Also commissioned this year is the Amity class shuttle, which carries 6 people and uses an advanced fusion drive.[1][4]
