Tactics: The shields are pretty weak on this ship, try to avoid hits. You have no Fwd.-Phaser so be careful how you are planning you attack runs!!!

background:
2119   The Warp 5 Complex is established to create technology that will allow humans to safely explore deep space. Zefram Cochrane is present during the groundbreaking ceremony.
Henry Archer, Jonathan Archer's father, is second only to Cochrane in his importance to this program. The Warp Five program would eventually come under the jurisdiction of the new entity,
Starfleet, working in conjunction with the Vulcan Advisory Council.

NX01 Enterprise launched 2151
origionally capable of about warp 4.6, enterprise left space dock with minimal weapons or shielding. in 2153 Enterprise was refitted before entering the expanse, the ship was again
refitted in 2154 after the events at azati prime.

Federation created 2161

NCC-010 U.S.S.Poseidon launched 2163
first ship of the new Poseidon class. Though beeing weaker than the older NX-Class this ship was called "destroyer" for it beeing more maneuverable and having a more tarpedo tubes.

NCC-012 U.S.S. Coto launched 2164
only one year after the first ship "poseidon" already the third one was launched, because after the romulan war the Federation wanted to have a real star-"fleet" not consisting of only 4-5 ships.
