Since the earliest days of Starfleet, Explorers have served prominently in the fleet. From the early ''[[ma:Daedalus_class|Daedalus]]''- and ''[[Ranger Class|Ranger]]''-class ships, to the famous ''[[ma:Constitution_class|Constitution]]''-class of James T. Kirk and his contemporaries, to the ''[[ma:Ambassador_class|Ambassador]]''-class developed earlier this century (now downgraded to Heavy Cruiser), each previous design has influenced the modern Explorers such as the ''[[ma:Galaxy_class|Galaxy]]''- and ''[[ma:Sovereign_class|Sovereign]]''-classes. The design style which now characterizes the Explorer ship type - primary hull ("saucer"), engineering hull, and nacelle-and-pylon - can be seen in even the earliest Explorers. Some [[Starfleet Starships: Cruisers|Cruisers]] have also contributed design elements to the modern Explorers. | Since the earliest days of Starfleet, Explorers have served prominently in the fleet.
