The Dace subclass light torpedo destroyer was a continuation of the dual-type production plan originating with the Trent /Horatio phase gun/torpedo series and produced in conjunction with the Kovaris subclass. Both of the latter types saw a slight maximum speed increase (from warp 6 to 6.3 on the Original Cochrane Unit scale) over that of the single-nacelle predecessors, but otherwise maintained the same crew complements, weapon packages, and magazine allotments as with the earlier vessels.

All of the destroyers would be upgraded with the more advanced PB-25 nacelles, starting in 2214.

What about lowering the warp pylons to reduce the height?

In universe: the state of technology and the understanding of subspace mechanics makes this the ideal placement for this particular hull shape and nacelle output.


Doylist: The originating author's data and the available imagery that adrasil and I have to work with limits the dimensions we can work with. Our job is to use what we know and provide a visually and textually interesting vessel.
