Notes:
 The success of the Pulsed Beam Phaser Cannon design, discovered during
 the testing of the TRAFALGAR-class battlecruiser prototype, led to its
 integration in the McPHERSON class variant of the basic INTREPID-class
 frigate spaceframe; this variant of the design was created with heavy
 combat roles in mind, and individually outguns almost all other
 StarFleet frigate classes. Unfortunately, the spaceframe was not initially
 designed (as the TRAFALGAR-class spaceframe was) with the structural
 stresses caused by the pulsed-beam technology as a factor. As a result,
 the "blaster cannon" can only be fired a limited number of times - about
 twenty-five to thirty at full power - before the ship must go into
 drydock and have several of its fittings, housings, and support 
 struts and beams replaced. Because of this design problem, the project
 was cancelled after only a handful were built.

 The revolutionary pulsed beam phaser cannon (rated on the same scale
 with its first cousin, the pulse phaser cannon) gives it firepower
 unmatched in any other frigate, but keeping the size, speed, and 
 maneuverability of the INTREPID-class spaceframe. The pulsed beam 
 phaser cannon's effect is similar to that of the so-called "blaster
 cannon" once proposed as an addition to the GALAXY-class design, though
 much less powerful (the proposed GALAXY version of the "blaster cannon"
 would be rated a Type VII) and with a slightly shorter range, due to
 the smaller diameter of the mount (necessary for it to fit within the
 INTREPID-class spaceframe).

 Like the original INTREPID-class, this class is capable of planetfall.

 All McPHERSON-class starships are to be named for historians and authors,
 and will be given registry numbers in the 91860 series.
