History:
The Sierra Nevada-Class was an experiment in a Dreadnought-Frigate, one that would function more like a Frigate, but be somewhat of a flag-bearing command ship like a Dreadnought, have massive Warp Power, and large armament. While this seemed dubious and redundant, and eight years later, the Utopianists abolished Dreadnoughts, and hence, Dreadnought-Frigates, the Sierra-Nevada-Class remained in service, sometimes used as an impromptu carrier.
Noteworthy Vessels/Service Records/Encounters: U.S.S Sierra Nevada; - Prototype, intercepted Romulan Battlecruisers near the Triangle (2309), U.S.S Tau Cephia; - countered Andromedan Assault near Hrakkour (2299), U.S.S Zeta Baxter; - named for Fleet Exercises, and tests of new Subspace Sensor Equipment many deccades before, assisted in locating RTN (2301), U.S.S Omega Nuva; - led Task Force in driving off ISC Echelon (2297)
