Star Trek     Memory Alpha      Escorts   
      
   Example:   A Defiant-class escort    
   In starship classification, an escort is designated as being a small starship   
   which is generally given a protection role, moving with less maneuverable   
   ships or vessels with lighter armament. Escorts can further be classified as   
   fast escorts, heavy    
   escorts or battle escorts. Light escorts are also called corvettes.    
      
   In 2371, the Defiant-class was officially designated as being an escort,   
   although its use was thought to be a euphemism, as the Defiant-class was   
   described as being one of the most powerful warships in the Alpha Quadrant.
