Stingray class

Stingray class light frigate (FF) 2370 -- present. 93 built, 11 destroyed, 82 in service
The Stingray is a direct replacement for the Unity class frigates. While the Manta class is a formidable ship it is not a cheap ship and a smaller lighter frigate was desired. With the Unity class hulls no longer suitable to further upgrades a new class was designed to fill the role. The Stingray slots into the space left by the Unity class, a light frigate. This is the role seen for the Emerald class, but one it was not suited for. The increasing size of ships has placed the "300 meter class" ships once considered heavy into this role.
The stingrays pack three of the octoclops turrets giving them four more torpedo tubes than the Unity's four pentclops turrets. The reduction in machinery spaces is a bonus in this smaller vessel.. They are also equipped with collimator phaser strips and ionic distuptors.
Stingrays are built from the start as frigates and have minimal science capacity. This leaves more room for crew comfort.
It is superseded by the Eagleray class.
===Refits and other notes===
The Stingray was one of the youngest classes to get the diSodium refit. Only a handful of ships were required to be refit and a half dozen were refit on the ways as they were being built. The diSodium Stingray is now the standard vessel of the Ane Defense Forces.
