BRAD'S COMMENTS:  If the scale of the saucer section and the warp nacelles is to be believed, then the Lenthal class is both wider and longer than even an Enterprise class cruiser!!  Naturally, it's not, so I don't like the looks of this ship very much; even if Neale Davidson did a terrific job re-drawing it. (Thanks, Neale!).  And I've already covered the fact that I never really understood the close-together nature of the warp nacelles, something we see a lot of in the UFP Ship Recognition Manual.  So I won't repeat that material here.  Things would be better if the Lenthal class had some teeth, but without torpedoes this ship is pretty much going to get mauled in any kind of fight with and advanced Klingon or Romulan opponent.  Best player advice: safety in numbers.

From the FASA Star Trek FEDERATION SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
