The hull labels of the Zhukov as visible in TNG: "Data's Day" read "USS Zuhkov (sic!) NCC-62136".

My personal interpretation is that there are rather few ships of the Ambassador class altogether - although this may indeed have been a reason to retire them for economic reasons. It seems dubious that this newer ship class would be entirely retired within only a few years, while much older designs like the Excelsior and Miranda stay in service. Ambassador-class ships never showed up after the fifth season of TNG.I will stick to the established 526m until further notice and until I know the exact relative proportions of the vessel that have a decisive influence on my length estimation. The deck structure with somewhere between 32 and 38 decks would allow any size around 500m. Jein's 4ft (exactly 41'') studio model was subsequently reported to be 526m long, which may be either based on the assumption that this model is the same scale as the 48'' Enterprise-D, or it takes into account Probert's original size chart. The plans Rick Sternbach made for the Ambassador model to be built by Jein, however, assume a length of merely 478m, although the scale not explicitly indicated. In the original concept Andrew Probert laid out his Galaxy predecessor to be 1721ft long, equaling 524m.A final variant had shortened nacelle pylons, but was probably never visible on screen. In-universe, there have to exist two sub-classes with several differences that are shown in detail on my Ambassador class variants page. For further appearances of the class, as the Zhukov (TNG: "Data's Day", the Excalibur (TNG: "Redemption II") and the Yamaguchi (DS9: "Emissary"), a still different second studio model was used. It was then built by Greg Jein with considerable simplifications as the Enterprise-C for TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise". The Ambassador design is based on an early TNG concept by Andrew Probert.First launched in the early 24th century, the Ambassador is among the aging ship designs. The class appears to be an intermediate design between the Excelsior and Galaxy classes. General description The Ambassador class is a bulky starship type equipped for scientific missions as well as for combat. The Akira class has never been shown in its role as a carrier with a fly-through hangar deck, and fighters of the presumed Peregrine class probably wouldn't fit through the doors (but Danube runabouts would, also on non-military missions).

These are placed as follows: 2 port side saucer, 2 starboard, 1 forward facing under the deflector dish in the main hull, plus 4 forward, 3 port rear, 3 starboard rear in the weapons pod. The ship is supposed to have as many as 15 torpedo launchers, as stated in Star Trek: The Magazine. The weapons pod is a swap-out component, much like the pod of the Nebula class.

According to Alex Jaeger, the Akira class is a military minded ship.

I won't make up an in-universe reason for the striking similarities between the NX class and the 200 years younger Akira class.

I have decided to ignore the NCC-65549 from the Fact Files, and assign NCC-63898 to the Spector. They confirm NCC-63549 for the USS Thunderchild on the hull. The diagrams in Star Trek: The Magazine and the Official Starships Collection are directly derived from the Akira CGI. This is also the case on the ILM size chart, where the information for the Fact Files seems to come from, although here the Thunderchild is NCC-63898. The named ships in the above list appear in the Star Trek Fact Files where the registry of the USS Thunderchild diagram is NCC-65549 instead of NCC-63549, while the latter number is assigned to the USS Spector.

There is confusion about the Akira registries.

The size of the ship is discussed on a separate page.

The Akira class was designed by Alex Jaeger of ILM for "First Contact" and exists only as a CGI model.

The Akira has two shuttlebay doors at the rear and one central door at the front end of the saucer. A weapons module is located at the top between the two secondary hulls. The warp pylons are swept downward and are affixed at their upper ends to two catamaran-like secondary hulls which run into the top of the saucer section.
