Notes:

The FEYNMAN II class is a slightly smaller, more nimble and agile
upgrade to its predecessor. While the overall structure remains
the same, total size and mass are roughly 5% less that the previous
class vessel. 

All major systems have been upgraded with the latest improvements
applicable to this class of Surveyor starship. 

As overall mass was reduced, total crew compliment is approximately 
7% less than that of the previous class. 


History:

The Feynman class is named in honor of the twentieth century
Nobel prize winning physicist/philosopher/teacher, Richard P.
Feynman, whose simple but elegant demonstration of O Ring failure
during the Challenger hearings lead to improved standards of
safety for early earth spacecraft.  He is also considered one of
the fathers of Nanotechnology; an award named is his honor has
been given since the late twentieth century.

In October 2405 the project approval was received.  A rescaled
version of the DELPHI Array began construction. In May 2406 the
keel was laid, and the actual construction on the primary hull
began.  In June 2406 the nacelle construction began.  August 2406
saw the joinging of primary and secondary hulls and the
installation of the DELPHI array began.  In September 2406 the
installation of the remaining communication, navigation systems
and computer core followed.

October 2406 the Warp Drive was tested, followed by finishing the
installation of the rescaled DELPHI array in November, and its
calibration and test in December 2406.  In January 2407 the
construction was completed and the ship commissioned for system
evaluation as NX-66000 USS Feynman.
