NOTES - circa 2288:

Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: A for D-2A, C for D-28
Major Data Source: D-2A in Star Fleet possession; Klingon Sector Intelligence
 
     Shortly after the discovery of photon technology, the Klingon Imperial Navy initiated a program for a missile-armed destroyer. Several designs were reviewed and tested before the D-2A was commissioned on Stardate 2/1201. Five months later, the D-2B entered service, different only in the arrangement of its torpedo bays. The D-2 is an excellent offensive weapon against ships of its own class, but it is not able to hold its own against larger ships due to the lack of range its torpedoes have and a relatively weak superstructure.
     These missile boats mount KWC-1 warp engines, which gives them good tactical maneuverability. Each mounts two KD-6 disruptors covering all areas of fire as well as four KP-2 photon torpedoes. The D-2A's torpedo bays are split evenly forward and aft, allowing it to close with and pass through the enemy's formation, firing torpedoes into usually unprotected aft areas. All the D-28's torpedo bays are mounted forward, giving a tremendous amount of punch from the front but none from the rear.
     Of the 290 D-2s built, 128 As and 135 Bs remain in active service; 12 As and 8 Bs have been destroyed; 1 A has been captured by the Romulans; 2 As are listed as missing; 1 A has been scrapped; and 2 As are in the service of prominent families of the Empire. The D-2 class is produced at losia and H'renn. Intelligence estimates these facilities produce a combined average of twelve of each type per month.
     The class is named from the Klingon vkarzadan, which translates to "the tongue that stings".

NOTES:
Model A - Superstructure increased. Weight increased. Computer too heavy for vessel, reduced to ZD-4. D - factor corrected.
Model B - Superstructure increased. Weight increased. Computer too heavy for vessel, reduced to ZD-4. D - factor corrected.
Production of "A" and "B" models after 2/2306 should includ an additional 24 ships for each model. Original data used to comply with 2nd edition printing.
