Assyrian class frigate
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Assyrian class frigates were designed just prior to the Amazon class destroyers, and were the foundation of all the TL9 frigate and destroyer classes built by the UWC.

Somewhat heavier armed than the Amazon class destroyers the Assyrians still share many componants with the Amazons and later TL9 classes. The heavier armament has kept some Assyrian class frigates in service, primarily in secondary escort and patrol work.
