Deep Dive[edit]
The Deep Dive is a combined project with the Federation Naval Patrol, Starfleet, Pacifica Submersible Research Institute and the Albatross Organisation. The purpose of the project was to design the next generation of Deep Submersible Exploration and Rescue Vessel. They wanted this new vessel to go deeper and faster submerged then any previous design. They also incorporated the latest designed for rescue vessel to increase its operating capacity. It should also be able to travel through space to its destination as well as be able to land on the planet and then when the mission is finished take off again. To help achieve this four retractable impulse engines were added to increase the amount of thrust that was needed to reach orbit. Special warp nacelles that were able to retract into the hull when the vessel was submerged to reduce the amount of drag on the hull as it moved through the water. Specially modified impulse engines were designed and added to the vessel to be able to function in space and under water with out any degradation to power to thrust ratio.
USS Serenity History[edit]
The Fangtooth class is the newest class of Deep Submersible Exploration Vessels. The USS Serenity NCC-2891 is the prototype vessel designed under a combined project Deep Dive. She was commanded by Commander Jay and was launched on stardate 2414.03.10
While repairing the damage that was caused to the ship after the Running Deep incident it was decided to make some major changes to the internal lay out of Serenity. The finding and stopping Second Life had become a priority for the Serenity’s mission. Due to this it was decided to increase her medical and science departments as well as up grade her sensors and expand her search and rescue capacity. Her medical and science crew was increased to deal with the new mission briefing
This meant that Serenity was on par with the star fleets Olympic Class medical vessels and could deal with any situation ranging from medical research, disaster relief, combat surgery, epidemic research, evacuation and triage to general humanitarian aid. Serenity is far more capable working independently for longer periods of time then its starfleet counterparts.
Unmanned Multimode Tactical Support Craft were added to its inventory to assist in search and rescue operations as will as combat if the situation arose.
Landing Mode[edit]
The Fangtooth class starship was designed for atmospheric flight and planetary landings to be possible on water. The vessels shape allows for atmospheric stability and manoeuvrability while descending and acceding from orbit or the planet surface. It also requires force fields to maintain it’s structural integrity while operating in most gravity wells. The hull shape only allows for a water landing and although it can land on land it will need a heavy duty lifting team to get it back into orbit and to a dry dock for extensive repairs.
Docking Collar[edit]
Parts of the Serenity have been changed into triage staging areas that have been connected to airlocks that are specially fitted with a generic docking collars. This enables the Serenity to dock with any known ship type. These docking collars are larger then normal to help facilitate more rapid deployment of the trauma responce teams. These teams under the control of the Trauma Response Team Chief and are comprised of four members who are a doctor, a nurse and two medical technicians. These teams can work independently from each other as well as in one bit group to maximise the transfer of casualties to the Serenity’s sickbay along dedicated corridors. They are also trained in armed and un-armed combat in unfortunate case the need arises.
Bridge Design[edit]
The bridge is situated deep in the hull and is the nerve center for the Serenity. It has a large wrap around view screen which covers all of the front wall and most off the ones on either side giving the view and 180 degree view of the outside world. It also came across part of the floor so that the commanding officers can see what was below them. The command console jutted out at the front of the bridge giving the commanding officer and uninterrupted view of what was happening outside the ship. Behind was two seated console with two more sets of seated consoles placed at the back of the bridge facing inwards along with the seated conn console situated in the middle of the bridge.
Sickbay[edit]
The sickbay facility on the Serenity has been designed to cope with any medical problem that the crew might have to face. Also due to its rescue component the design of the Serenity has been out fitted with a large compliment of stasis chambers to increase its patient capacity and keep any patient that are to serious to be treated on board. They can be kept in stasis until the Serenity can reach a larger medical facility.
Unmanned Multimode Tactical Support Craft[edit]
The Solo Flight Project was nearing its prototype test flight and with the disappearance of the 51st fleet it was decided to look into Unmanned Multimode Tactical Support Craft or UMTSC. The designers used the Gueken fighter as their starting point for their prototype design some of its design features can be seen in the final design. They are approximately 10 meters in length with a low profile, sleek design and can be deployed as tactical escorts to a mother starship, patrol craft for star bases or planets. They were also looking at a deep space reconnaissance and exploration model. The Serenity’s shuttle bay has been designed to accommodated their rapid deployment and recovery.
UMTSC or Wingman has one matter-antimatter propulsion system which feeds the two nacelles and two impulse systems. It has a cruising speed of warp speed of 8. It is armed with Phaser Cannons and 2 pulse-type Quantum Mini-torpedoes launchers.
The Wingman is controlled by a neural link and pilot can control up to six wingman fighters at one time with computer assistance. The Serenity carries six Wingman that are controlled by one pilot.
