You may be looking for the Excalibur class (Mark I) ship.

The Excalibur class (Mark II) was a Federation battleship that entered service in the late 24th century.

Class History

The Excalibur Class was submitted at the same time as the Sovereign class. Both ships were roughly equal in proposed specs. The Sovereign was approved while the Excalibur was put on hold.

Following the Borg attack of 2371, Starfleet re-opened the Excalibur files. They altered the ship from Explorer/Battleship specs to include rapid response abilities, increasing the size of the vessel by nearly 50%. Weapons were slightly scaled back though as was crew needed for those systems. In their place was put facilities for Covert Ops Teams, Marines, and even Diplomatic and Medical personnel. In the event of a medical emergency, these spaces could be configured for emergency medical care, and thus the ship is equipped with no less then 4 separate EMH programs. Only the Hope class Medical Ship and Starbases carry as many independent EMH programs. Template:ExplorerClasses Template:ExcaliburClassStarshipMarkII
