The Columbia-class began as a refit of the NX class during the Earth-Romulan War in the mid-2150s. (SOTL calendar: Ships of the Line 2011)
The class was named after the MIA Columbia and production of new ships was underway in the 2160s. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: A Choice of Futures)
By the 2280s decade, the NCC-2200 was the latest vessel named Columbia. The ship was the prototype for a new refit of the Columbia class and incorporated design and technology of the Oberth-class scout. (STO website: 10th Anniversary Bundle: Legendary Temporal Operative Escort)
