"The USS Moscow and the other ships of this class were the one of
the last major classes without dilithium. The immediate predecessor to the
Constitution class, the Baton Rouge class exhibited the distinct separated
living disc and engine modules so familiar now. Up-rated in the 2250s, these
ships have only recently completed their commissioned usefulness as
interstellar carriers."
The uprating was due to delays in the Constitution program, and
introduced new warp engines, impulse engines, weapons and shields. In this
configuration the ships gave valuable service in the four years war.
