TACFLEET Notes
The venerable Vas'tagor class destroyer has been a component of the Romulan fleet for more than 40 years. The design has been upgraded several times with new weapons and systems. The V5 version of this class is still being produced in limited quantities, and it is believed that a successor is on the drawing boards. No ships of this class still remain in service with the V1 hardware configuration. Most of the ships in service are at least at the V3 level.
The Vas'tagor class was a slight departure in design from previous ship classes. The ship is much more wedge shaped than their designs before or since. The ship draws only 60 meters at her aft end, and about 20 meters at the bow. While the Romulans have not developed other designs with a similar form, it seems that they were not completely dissatisfied.
Early versions of this ship were under powered, and had trouble keeping up with the larger ships they were designed to escort. The power systems were upgraded during the V3 refit leading to a full warp factor increase in cruising speed. Weapon systems have also been steadily upgraded, as new technology has become available. The configurations noted in the specs above are typical of ships constructed to a particular refit level. There is some variation among ships that were upgraded.
