Notes:

MOUNTAIN-class Fast Personnel Transports were first introduced in 2415 with the intention of replacing the aging OCEAN-Class. Larger and more modern, they have a spherical front section instead of a saucer section, the MOUNTAIN-Class carries twice the number of passengers and three times the cargo in its typical long-haul configuration.

Intended to have the future ‘designed in’, the MOUNTAIN-class has a significantly larger Hangar Bay than the standard OCEAN-class. This is to allow larger numbers of personnel and cargo shuttles to be housed in the event that the ship needs to transport personnel to an environment where transporter use is not possible.

The MOUNTAIN-class can also be outfitted for various shorter-run operation modes. In these cases, ship stores are insufficient for long-duration flight. However, environmental systems have been geared to support these shorter distance runs with much larger passenger complements. The most common short-run mode is as a hospital ship for disaster relief operations. In this mode as many as 100 medical staff can serve as many as 1200 casualties on ship. Cargo bays can be outfitted with modular surgical suites at most star bases in less than 6 hours. At the same time, movable bulkheads in the passenger suites are collapsed to make large patient wards. Often, there are dedicated MONTAIN-class hospital variants at nodal starbases for rapid deployment. These "HM" variant ships have enhanced surgical suites and advanced patient wards that have state-of-the-art equipment permanently installed.

The second production model is designed as Hospital/Disaster Relief Variant. With an upgraded powerplant, there is energy to spare for the large number of medical, surgical and nursing holograms that would be found on decks 2 and 3 along with their additional Sickbays/Surgical Chambers & Hospital Wards. The type would also carry additional shuttlepods and have additional transporters installed. Since time is critical in disaster relief, individual ships of this type are scattered around the Federation, probably at Nodal Starbases, from which they can be dispatched within an hour of notification.

It should be noted that the MOUNTAIN-class APF is NOT a combat vessel and, as such, requires an escort(s) should it be directed to enter combat areas. Its shields and weapons are intended to deter incidental threats only.
