K'Tinga

A Late 23rd century development of the classic Klingon D-7 battle cruiser. 
The K'Tinga was a parallel development to the Enterprise class and not as many believed a reaction. K'Tinga class ships were in service before the Refit Enterprise was launched. 
Operationally the K'Tinga was the D-7 and more please. Experience had taught the Empire that attacks came from the rear so a rear torpedo launcher was added. The energy output was higher and speed was improved, shields likewise.
The K'Tinga was in common use until the mid 24th century when numbers started to decline along with their effectiveness as front line units. Federation and Romulan ships were growing, both in size and power. The K'Tinga was proving to be the most ship you could stuff into that frame, more, broke it. It was being replaced by more modern types. Some K'Tinga class ships have been seen into the 25th century deep in Klingon space still acting as system monitors.
