...In June 22nd, 2008 (birthday of a Skuld cosplayer), I was working on a ship, when I heard the news that George Carlin, a comedian/actor who I was a (hardcore, yet selectively balanced) fan of since several days before/after? 9/11, had died, and I had decided to transfer the name of the ship design I was working on, Sector, to one of my several Post-TNG Designs, and gave the under construction vessel the name Carlin.
...The whole design started off as a cross-section, where I first laid down the details, then plorshed the hull outline over it, and that helped determine the capabilities of the vessel, as well as determine the outer appearence of the vessel, the first time that I managed to do that.
Here's the non-=stat details of the Carlin Class:
-It's the beginning of the Heavy Escort classification, a classification that includes the Defiant (Sisko's), and the Kunoichi Class from Post-TNG.
-It is launched in 2252-2253, with 16 Carlins launched, a fairly Franz-Joseph-esque number.
-These 16 have been continually used, destroyed, reused, and refitted to TMP specifications, the only one of my TOS-era designs to do so.
-The Carlins not only looks way different from most other TOS era ships, but they also combine that with function, by carrying around 22,000 metric tons worth of cargo for the other ships in their assigned squadron/fleet, even carrying four spare shuttles with no name/registry number/ship registry number on them!
-The Carlin Class, like nearly all of my pther TOS designs, had Laser-Accelerator Cannon-using versions, later upgraded to Phasers and Photon Torpedoes.

History:
The Carlin Class development project began in 2246, out of a need to design and build state-of-the-art
vessels with some of the new Warp 8 Drives, in an attempt to combat an ominous Klingon buildup
along the Neutral Zone. The vessels took years to gradually design and construct, and
were designed and constructed to become the first of a new type of starship, the Heavy Escort.
The Heavy Escort was designed to carry a heavy amount of firepower, and be an extremely
agile vessel, at the expense of crew accomandations, sensors and laboratory facilities,
and especially recreation facilities, and in it's unique case, carry spare supplies,
including even spare shuttlecraft, to assist and to expand the mission duration of
it's assigned squadron or fleet.
First launched in 2252-2253, the Carlins came just in the nick of time, supporting the
first, second, third and fourth fleets, and contributing greatly to the battle with their
heavy firepower and high maneuverability.
After the war, the Carlins were kept in service, with a few ships reassigned to Neutral Zone
patrol squadrons, replacing destroyed Louisiana Class Destroyers, receiving occasional
upgrades, and performing to a somewhat more minor extent. The destroyers were retired
in the 2290s.
