History-
Launching slightly before the Galaxy Class as a cheaper alternative to said class, the Nashville takes the essential frame and greatly simplifies it for ease of construction and maintenance. The components are much the same, with the saucer, nacelles and stardrive hull borrowing directly from its bigger sister.
The Nashville is often seen as a contemporary to the Melbourne Class, due to both vessels borrowing components from the Galaxy, however the latter vessel was designed more as an "XL" version of the Nebula Class, due to the pylons facing downward, giving it the affectionate nickname of the "Proto-Nebula Class."
These ships were often deployed as part of patrol armadas and rapid responders, due to their quick speeds owing to their compact design and ergonomic profile. In fact, some have even suggested that this ship formed the basis for the Sovereign Class, due to both ships sharing some design cues like the compacted components.
However, by the turn of the 2400s, vessels of this Class were all but retired in favor of vessels like the Ross and Sutherland Classes. Unlike the Halley or Melbourne, the Nashville didn't get an updated version of itself, and the last vessel, the USS Hawthorne, was pulled from active duty in 2414, ending a 60 year long service career.
