Intrepid class (light cruiser)

The Intrepid-class was a class of starship used by the United Earth Starfleet in the mid-22nd century that saw service in the Earth-Romulan War.

History
The class' lead ship, Intrepid, was in service by at least 2153 under the command of Captain Carlos Ramirez. 

In 2155, during the Earth-Romulan War, Prime Minister Nathan Samuels decided to shut down production of both the Intrepid and in favor of the. This change was implemented because Starfleet could only build one NX-class ship for every two Intrepids and every three Daedalus', making it more efficient to build the Daedalus-class starships. 

Specifications
This class was fitted with phase cannons and at least two torpedo launchers.
