Notes:
This design is based on the same conceptual design as the
REPRISAL-class Destroyer.  It is an evolution of the basic
concept for a fast, maneuverable, heavily armed destroyer.  The
FRANKLIN sacrifices some of the REPRISAL's manueverability for
added firepower and defensive capability.  Unlike the
single-flattened saucer hull of the REPRISAL, the FRANKLIN
features a wedge-shaped saucer and a secondary hull.

The deck structure is staggered in the middle and low saucer
portions.  Decks 6 and 7 only encompass part of their respective
levels.  Deck 6M is relatively between both decks, while it as
well only covers the opposite part of the ship.  The remaining
space in this area is composed of organic transmission circuitry
nets, mostly made use of by sickbay.

Although the saucer section is not separable, the ship has a
battle bridge in case of combat.  This heavily shielded command
center is located deep within the vessel on deck 14M, extending
upwards 1.5 deck levels, occupying space ahead of the shuttle
bay.  All ship's functions can be controlled in this area.

The ship also incorporates flux torpedo launchers (also capable
of firing photon torpedoes) and pulse phaser turrets.  Mounting
these units on such a small ship also necessitate the
staggered-level design, as both the forward and rear tubes are
higher than any one deck.  Much of decks 16M and 17M is devoted
to the 2 forward flux torpedo launchers.

The ship uses a dual nacelle drive system that is a direct
descendant of the system on the REPRISAL.  The more massive
FRANKLIN class gains its enhanced weapons array at the expense of
the nimbleness and agility of the REPRISAL class and a high
engine drain when the ship is operating with its shields raised
to full strength.

The design of the impulse engines helps to compensate for the loss of
maneuverability to the added mass relative to the REPRISAL class.  Much
like the system on the INTREPID-class, the FRANKLIN's engine system
consists of twin impulse drives located on the port and starboard of the
primary hull and twin impulse drive located near the base of each nacelle
support strut.  Each engine consists of three exhaust ports, each two decks
high.  This innovation allows a higher rate of thrust per unit time, as well
as a greater acceleration curve without unacceptable hull
stress concentrations.  This outgrowth of the REPRISAL concept is
less manueverable, but redundant systems will minimize the chance
of failure during a battle situation.
