Summary:
GENERAL NOTES:
1. These plans are for the familiarization purposes only and should not be confused with detailed working drawings of the Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser.
2. In an emergency, the primary hull can separate from the secondary hull. The secondary hull cannot operate independently.
3. The auxiliary fusion reactors can provide life-support and sublight propulsion in the event of a hull separation. Normally they provide supplementary power.
4. Hydrogen and other interstellar gases are collected and processed for use as fuel in the auxillary power systems and impulse engines.
5. Except when berthed, the craft is crewed at all times. The ship's compliment is divided into four watches of six hours.
6. All decks have built in gravity, inertial dampening and anti-radiation forcefields.
7. Environmental suits are fully adjustable and stored in various strategic locations throughout the vessel.
8. The Constitution Class can accept multiple hull violations. All doors and bulkheads are airtight and capable of withstanding sudden drastic pressure changes. The containment doors seal off sections of the ship to prevent progressive decompression. They are kept open during normal operations, but will close when all stations have been secured or when the hull has been breached. Doors adjacent to evacuated sections can only be overridden by damage control parties. There are similar containment hatches which can seal off all gangways.
9. AUTHORS NOTE: The second pilot version of the Constitution Class was based on the larger model used for most of the production shots. The major differences in the second pilot are the engine nacelle spikes, inverted ship identification under the primary hull, and a larger bridge.
10. AUTHORS THANKS: I would like to thank Shane Johnson for the photographs that he provided me with for detail and Thomas Sasser for his extensive drawing and sketches that he provided me with for the detail for all three variations of the classic.
