Yes, but the above referenced site discusses more than just ships. The
site has essays ranging from political systems to command and control.
Let's face it, an empire that spans a thousand thousand worlds, can
communicate instantaneously on galactic distances, and has the technical
ability and political will to build a space station capable of
destroying a planet with a single blast of energy, would be able to wipe
out the United Federation of Planets in short order.
