Kearsarge class

The Kearsarge class light cruisers were a type of starship on active duty during at least the late 23rd century. 

In the Star Fleet Battles continuity, these were put into production ca. 2281 and were intended to replace the less combat-effective destroyers. The design of the Kearsarges consisted of the standard saucer-shaped primary hulls of the period to two smaller (relative to LN-64 or the equivalent) warp nacelles.

There were "more than a dozen" variants to this class, including escort cruisers, minesweepers, carriers and tugs.

The standard crew complement for the Kearsarges was 307 (including a Prime Team) and 54 surface action specialists.
