The Chandley-class frigate was a type of starship on active duty in Starfleet during at least the last quarter of the 23rd century. The lead ship and prototype, USS Chandley, entered service in the 2270s. (FASA RPG: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
The ship design was unique insofar as having a primary hull with winglike extensions. These "wings" carried surface action specialists, their equipment, training areas, hangar bays for dropships and attack fighters as well as combat transporters.
Standard complement for a ship of this class was 613 (including 250 surface action specialists).
The class was named after the company that built the prototype. The owners of the company were descendants of Rear Admiral Thomas Chandley, a U.S. Navy admiral of Earth's early 21st century.
