[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] Hmm... Why would Starfleet decomission a class like the Ambassador? They were of impressive size, and arguably the most powerful vessels in the Fleet before the introduction of the Galaxies. My theory is that they were simply under-armed for their size (though certainly enough against the Cardies). They had phaser arrays, but they were incredibly short for a vessel of that size, and their output is therefore limited. Sometimes I wonder if the upgraded Excelsiors don't have more phaser power than the Ambassadors. Perhaps Starfleet found the vessels uneconomical, and its intend role of exploration and power projection filled by the more capable (though almost certainly more expensive) Galaxies and Nebulas. Some vessels remained to argument their more capable successors. [/QB][/QUOTE]
