when was the Akula-class put into action?
- Thread starter Mistral
- Start date
IIRC, the SFC/SFB game has a two-nacelled destroyer (top and bottom nacelles) of that name, for the rather fuzzy TOS movie era. The SFC manual suggests 2275 as the year the prototype was built. The lead ship supposedly has NCC-278-A painted on, honoring an earlier starship, so we can't use the registry to suggest an era or chronological order even if we thought that TOS movie registries were chronologically ordered; no other registries are known.
There's also the Akula perimeter action ship subclass from Todd Guenther's Ships of the Star Fleet 2. That's from 2285. Then again, the SotSF chronology suggests that ST:TMP took place in 2271 or so, while modern canon has it no earlier than 2273, so one might adjust the other years accordingly. Or then not.

I am guessing the answer is not The Hunt for Red October.
Cool site! thanks...
Otherwise known as the M-5 Unit?
Warp 21???
that's one ugly mofo of a starship...
my Akula (named before i realised there was one elsewhere) in my fan-fic is more like a Connie with the nacelles on short horizontal pylons at the side of the second hull and they entered service in the 2240s with the Connies...

Within canon, there is no such thing as a Akula Class Starship. But in fanon I guess there is.

...obscure scrubs reference
Gotcha. We're doing a Round Robin story in the fanfic forum and one of the authors threw a pair of Akula-class ships into the mix-needed the era so I could figure out if they were contemporaries of Kirk or time-travelers.
http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=56281 is the link to the story, if anybody cares.
