Here is the second installment of my 24th Century Starfleet conversion. The first ship, the Adroit-class heavy tender, is a vessel of my own design. The rest of the thread will cover former Spacedock ships.

The Adroit-class tender was developed in the mid-2360s, to provide Starfleet with a more flexible and responsive repair capability to large ships far from a starbase. The Adroit's powerful tractor beam array enables it to tow ships as large as a Galaxy-class explorer, while its extrnsive repair faciliities can fabricate almost anything the engineers need to repair Starfleet's most advanced vessels.
A hardy, yet relatively nimble vessel, the Adroit can travel to a disabled ship's coordinates, assess damage, and either make repairs on station or tow the ship back to starbase.
Thee ships of the class exist: USS Adroit, stationed in Sector 001; USS Dextrous, stationed in the Bajor Sector of the Alpha Quadrant; USS Grasp, stationed at Starbase 234 in the Beta Quadrant.

The largest atmospheric capable ship in Starfleet, the Bradbury suffers from a significant torpedo arc shadow in its ventral aft section, contributing to high losses during the Dominion War.

Although developed years before the Dominion War, the Chimera is one of the strangest-looking classes in Starfleet's inventory. Using a tri-nacelle setup attached almost directly to an Excelsior saucer hull, the frigate is designed as a "just-in-case" vessel. The class proved easy to construct and hardy in combat, if difficult to handle in flight.

A graceful, four-nacelle patrol vessel, the Cheyenne-class light cruiser is as large as many standard cruisers. A descendent of the venerable Constellation-class program, the Cheyenne was built to continue its predecessor's exploration role.
The Cheyenne mounted the new Class 4 sensor system, and was the first class to mount both the Mk 75 DF torpedo system and the FSQ deflector shield. Cheyennes often led smaller wings during the Dominion War.

Another vessel designed with Vulcan aesthetics, the Surak-class escort has a fast, sporty appearance. The escort has recently been relegated to duty in less-dangerous areas in recent years, given the power of more modern escorts.
In some circles, the Vulcan government is said to privately object to the use of the name "Surak" on a warship, and are pushing for the escort's premature retirement.
