Columbia Class Cruiser

The second class of warp drive ship that will be built by Earth, The first has been completed and entered service. Earth needs better ships. 
The design has Ane input but so far the Vulcans have not had much design input. They have been invited to play. The ship is a marked improvement over the Challenger Class Cruiser.
The Columbia features twice the crew space of the Challengers. And more crew comfort (but not much more). While duration has not been extended the increase in speed will result in better range.
