History
The final Bison-based ships to be built during the war were the Conqueror-class cruisers (CHM-69). These cruisers, introduced in 2159, were basically improved Tannhäuser-class ships with smaller, more powerful SSWR-IIIC reactors, new Typhoon B2 warp nacelles mounted outboard above the centerline, and an upgraded sensor suite. New weapons included a forehead-mounted, high-velocity "missile rifle" with a rotary feed system and a ship-to-ship version of the Ultra Zeus ground-attack laser cannon first used in the Farragut class. These immense cruisers provided valuable service during the last year of the war, particularly at the battle of Cheron, where their steady missile barrages helped batter the Romulan fleet into submission. USS Charger (CHM-72) was the flagship of Task Force 41, which led the final drive towards the Romulan Homeworlds. However, when peace came in 2160 Conqueror cruisers proved prohibitively expensive to maintain and crew and were retired in 2163.
The Conqueror-class heavy cruiser UES Charger is now on display at the Starfleet Museum.
