The D2B model was constructed with over one-hundred forty-four ships beginning on stardate 2/1206. Of the classes 290 vessels built by the 2280s decade, 20 were destroyed, 1 was captured by Romulans, 2 were missing, 1 was scrapped and two were sold into private service. The class was constructed at Iosia and H'renn at a rate of about 12 per month. (FASA RPG module: Klingon Ship Recognition Manual)
