The '''Kelvin''' was a design of [[starship]] employed by [[Starfleet]] in the early to mid-2200s. One of the fleet's few single-nacelled designs, it was an explorer and surveyor by nature. As the decades past and newer ships entered service, its role as an explorer began to be superseded by its role as a surveyor and general purpose vessel, for example, transferring supplies and colonists. Several series of upgrades, most notably in the 2230s and 2250s, saw it refitted and retrofitted to more up-to-date specifications, and included the addition of 12 [[Point defence cannon|point defence cannon]], an attempt by Starfleet to overcome deficiencies with existing [[Phaser technology|phasers']] recharge rates and output levels that was subsequently developed into the mainstream and more durable phaser armament of starship classes in the 2260s and early 2270s until the development of the [[Type VI]] bank. The Kelvin was retired from active service in the 2250s.<br />
<br />
'''''Alternate Universe'''''<br />
<br />
The Kelvin's service in the Alternate Universe timeline mirrors that of the Prime timeline's, but its service life was extended into the 2260s to meet Starfleet's need for additional ships in light of [[Romulan]] aggression.<br />
