Footnote:

-Little is known about the Zodiac Class. The Yorktown is the only known ship, only then featuring in dialogue in the anti-time future created by Q, in TNG's 'All Good Things.' One assumes that the ship and class exist in the real Trek universe, and judging by the Yorktown registry number, we can also assume it's from around the mid-24th century.

 

KEY

O= Operational
OR= Operational after Refit or Repairs
DD= In Drydock for repairs or refit *
T= Training Vessel
U= Under construction prior to preliminary trials
D= Destroyed
Sc= Scrapped or Decommissioned
PD= Presumed Destroyed
M= Missing

*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.

The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon. For an explanation on the specs, and what the Ship designations mean, see Spec Definitions.
