Currently eight vessels of this class remain in service with the UWC fleet. All are presently assigned to training duties and all have undergone the standard WESU (Weapons and Electronics Systems Upgrade) program. As is usual with WESU the spinal mount has been left intact with its electronics and fire control systems upgraded, while all other weapon systems have been replaced with TL10 systems. A ninth vessel of this class, the Ambuscade herself is maintained as an orbital museum over Earth. |
