History:
The D-61 was designed to have a new heavy warship to help improve
the still reduced Imperial Navy when the Empire still hadn't
fully recovered from the Praxis incident of 2293.
The D-61 was underproduced for a Klingon ship, but it was
still produced in fairly good numbers, and performed nearly all
of their duties until the 2370s alone, easily handling duties
well and freeing up many other warships, even doubling occasionally
as an exploration vessel.
After the KDF-1 Vor'cha was launched, the D-61 was reduced to a minor
role, but remained in service until the Dominion Wars called for many
older Klingon vessels, including D-61 Battlecruisers to join fleets
to boost their offensive power by as much as possible, fighting well
and destroying many Jem'hadar fighters, the last cruisers were
either destroyed in the war, or damaged so badly that they had
to be scrapped.
