The Bismarck class battle cruisers were a type of United Federation of Planets starship on active duty in Starfleet during at least the late 23rd century. (Task Force Games: UFP: The Federation Sourcebook for Prime Directive)

The Bismarck class was produced concurrently with the Kirov-class battle cruisers. The Bismarcks used borrowed Gorn technology (plasma-F launchers) in place of the drone racks on the Kirovs.

The standard crew complement of a Bismarck was 401 (including a Prime Team) plus 102 surface action specialists.

Background information[]

This class was portrayed in both RIS Bouteina and in the TOS video games Starfleet Command (game) and Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War as a variant of the Excelsior class called the Bismarck refit.
