<i>Shielding </i><br>
Type : The Tarawa class has a version of the Multi-phasic 
shielding fitted to the Defiant, class, but with considerably 
lower amount of power available, the shields are no-where 
near as strong as the original. However, the new shields 
are a huge improvement over the original Shields fitted 
to the Danube class<br>
<i>Current Variants </i><br>
Ambulance : The standard Tarawa Class Runabout is 
able to be converted into an Ambulance suitable to 
carrying 36 stretcher cases as well as up to 12 seated 
casualties or medical personnel. This conversion takes 
approximately 45 minutes, and the stretchers are carried 
as standard equipment on all Tarawa Class Runabouts<br>
Infiltrator : This version has had the Dorsal Weapons 
pod removed to mount ancillary equipment for a Cloaking 
device. This is fitted in the Mission Module of the 
Runabout, and takes approx. 72 hours to complete. 
The module will be available to marine units on an "as required" issue plan to Special Operation capable 
units, and only with explicit approval from the CO. <br>
The Cloak battery stores enough power for a total 
of 8 hours, and can only be recharged at a Starbase 
or Starship. </p>
