You will find here the
specifications and technical schematics of the USS Obready.

The USS Obready
is a Northampton class vessel. She is 21 decks high, but in reality,
only 12 of those decks are actively used for the crew. All in all, the
Northampton mesures 300 meters long by 150 meters whide. The ship can
hold 328 crew members to that a total of 220 marine troops can be
added. The Obready is commanded by admiral Robert G Kelley for the last
10 years and has a survice record of excellence that is matched by few
in the fleet.

Historical note on the Northamptom
class.
The Northampton Class frigate,
stationed by Star Fleet in all sensitive areas, to prevent foreign
aggression, enjoys the respect and admiration of its crews and troops.
These ships have numerous recreation facilities and spacious quarters
for the crewmembers and marines. Swimming pools, gravball courts,
and physical fitness centers are all located in the lower hull adjacent
to the shuttlebay and near the engineering section.
The Northampton mounts the most powerful of Star Fleet's engines, the
FWG-1 warp engine, which allows it to reach trouble spots
quickly. Although the hull design incorporates the single-engine
lock found on several Andorian designs, the Northampton is a Martian
design.( Utopia Planitia.)
The weapons array is similar to that found on the Chandley Class
frigates, though the arrangement is not the same. Both classes
mount 6 FH-11 phasers, but the fields of fire are quite different, with
the Northampton having better aft-firing capabilities and the Chandley
having better forward-firing capabilities. Unlike the Chandley,
the Northampton has concentrated all three of its torpedo tubes
forward, which makes it offensively powerful.
Reports on the exploits of the USS Bremerton while in the Triangle have made
quite a stir in military circles. After spending one year in the
Triangle conducting business of an undisclosed nature, the Northampton
Class Bremerton returned to Starbase 10 and
reported that it had encountered both Romulan and Klingon ships, all of
which it was forced to fight. Details of the encounters are still classified.
Refit of the 24th century.
With
In the year 2305,
the engineers at Starfleet saw the chance to keep most of the " old "
vessels. And the USS Obready was among those chosen to receve a total
of 6 refits in the 24th century. And with the Dominion war, the last
alterations where of major importance.
LeEverything began with the engins changed from the FWG-1 to the
FNWD-2c. The second modification made was on the armements. The torpedo
tubes underneath the saucer section where replaced with rapid fire
compressed phasers. The torpedo tubes located on the port and starboard
side of the nacelle support struts can now fire Quantum torpedoes. The
last modification was made on the superstructure that now has Ablative
armor.
AWith all these modifications, The USS Obready recorded an efficency
rating of 98 % on its engines and weapons, witch is rare for a ship
this old.
