The success of the SS-315 class (heavy) destroyer prompted Central HQ to commission a second class of the new sub-type. Freighter specialist Gezz Design Bureau won the contract, producing a solid design that was faster at impulse and more powerful at close range.
As of 2375, the GS-641 has assumed the primary assault role first developed for the 315. Central HQ expects to improve the ship's structure in a 2378 refit.

Hardened System (life support)
The ZG-73 class heavy cruiser represents the revival of a designation that hadn't been used in over 100 years. Taking a concept brought back by a Gorn diplomat's visit to Andoria in 2348, the 73 sacrifices blaster power for a phenomenal stand-off capability.
The ZG-73's were immediately assigned to squadrons of SS-315s (and, later, GS-641s) as long-range complements to the close-in combat specialist heavy destroyers.
Central HQ is looking at ways to upgrade the vessel for the next 30 years, including adding ablative armor.

The ZA-75 class light cruiser was primarily built to augment the IGN's exploration arm, but ended up being tapped as the successor to the MA-225. The vessel is one of the fastest ships in the fleet, sacrificing firepower for sensor capacity and pure speed.

The HE-826 class destroyer escort was the product of changes to early 23rd Century destroyer designs. As destroyers grew larger, the need for small escort ships became apparent, resulting in the SE-2 and HE-20/HE-820 classes that dominated the latter half of the 23rd Century. The natural successor to those E-type pioneers was the HE-826, a "tough little ship" that could run circles around many of its larger cousins.
Deployed in wings of 3-4 ships, the 826 was most efficient as a fleet support ship, rarely operating independently.
The escort remained an active part of the fleet well after the SE-319 came online, receiving a refit in 2357 that extended its service life into the 2370s. The last of the 826's should leave the fleet by 2377.

Ablative Armor
The HA-837 is a ship that defies traditional classification. While it is technically a light cruiser, built for speed and mission flexibility, the 837 has been nominally called a "strategic command cruiser" for its augmented operational capability.
With a top speed of Warp 9.99, the 837 is the fastest ship in the fleet, but seriously undergunned for its size (over 300 meters long). Instead, the cruiser focuses on operational and command capacity, including a fully-functional "flag officer" suite that sports the latest in C4I support technology.
While Central HQ isn't talking, analysts believe the HA-837 will take over the role of primary command ship in many fleets, representing a major change in Gorn fleet tactics.
