Ganges class

The Ganges class was a type of starship that served in the United Earth Starfleet during the early 22nd century and the Earth-Romulan War.

History
By the mid-22nd century the Ganges class was considered to be an older ship design, but serveral ships were still in active service. Along the SS two such vessels chased away a Klingon bird-of-prey when it attacked Enterprise in the Sol system after its return following the Xindi attack in 2153. 

In 2154 at least three Ganges class ships were part of the fleet that welcomed back the Enterprise to Earth. 

The class even served in the Earth-Romulan War, for example the Eberswalde patroled Romulan territory. 

Specifications
Ganges class ships were equipped with foward and aft phase cannons for offense and polarized hull plating for defense.
