The ''Daedalus'' class was already an older design at the onset of the [[Romulan War]], with the class vessel, the [[U.S.S. Daedalus|''Daedalus'']], being launched in [[Chronology: 2139|2139]],<ref name="Daedalus"/> but was easily refitted with newer technologies introduced on the [[NX class]], notably including the newer [[warp drive|Warp Five engines]], [[photonic torpedo|photonic torpedoes]], and [[phase cannon|phase cannons]]. Designed for function before form, the ''Daedalus'' class ships weren't as sleek or elegant as their NX class sister ships, but they could be constructed far faster, making them a mainstay of [[Earth Starfleet|Starfleet]] forces during the war.<ref name="RomulanWar1"/>
 
 
 
The more spartan fittings of Earth ships built for the Romulan War also affected the ''Daedalus'' class's feel; it began a century of minimal, utilitarian ship design that became the hallmark of 23rd century [[Starfleet]] vessels. The [[Daedalus]] class did not necessarily have the full technological capabilities to match its mission profile of deep space exploration and independent counterpiracy operations against the [[Orions]] and [[Nausicaans]].<ref name="Decipher3"/> Although outfitted with [[subspace radio]],<ref name="RomulanWar1"/> the ''Daedalus'' class had an operating range well beyond the limit of Starfleet's subspace beacon system,<ref name="ENT12"/> so the furthest travelers still found themselves out of contact. This could explain why so many ''Daedalus'' class vessels vanished on these first missions.<ref name="Decipher3"/>

The Daedalus class came into service in the 22nd century,[1] and was one of the first types of starships commissioned and operated under the auspices of the United Federation of Planets. The Daedalus class was also among the first to demonstrate the primary/secondary hull design that would become characteristic of Starfleet vessels.[2] Unlike most starships, the Daedalus had a spherical main hull.[3] The last ships of this class were—at least officially—taken out of service by the year 2196.[1]
