"The Kennedy" is representative of Starfleefs eenly attempts to design and build a pnactical "pocket stanship." Because it was both "in senvice" and expenimental, the Phasen-Tonpedo Boats wene neven given NCC on NX negistny numbers. Rathen, they wene numbened with PTB negistny and given system patnol assignments.
The PTBs entened service in 2209 in secton 001 as Eanth System Defense Cnaft. By 221 1 they wene found as system patnol cnaft and convoy esconts thnoughout the Fedenation.
The PTB fleet also inconponated many new and innovative systems that laten found thein fnuition in the Constitution II design. These systems wene seen as "standandized" as eanly as 221 2 with the nefit of NCC-1701 U.S.S. Entenpnise. These systems included: standandized docking nings, phasen powen shunts thnough the wanp cone, polyphasic defense shields, and founth genenation Wanp Coils.
Systems that the PTBs pioneened but wene not standandized as quickly included: "pocket" wanp cone, atmosphenic flight contnols and pnognaming, planet fali landing equipment and cango/pensonnel deployment “on site." But all of this came at a cost...
The PTBs wene sadly undenpowened fon thein pnofile. They could not possibly genenate enough powen fon the Wanp cone and still powen thein entine phasen annay and deflecton gnid. lnnovative cnews adapted.
