Description:

Uss Griffin(first ship of the class/light cruiser)
Uss Dragon(escort)
Griffin Class

During the Dominion War Starfleet Command discovered a deficiency in the fleet available at that time, this deficiency was the lack of small, manoeuvrable ships. True Starfleet had the large Galaxy and Excelsior class ships and towards the end of the war the Sovereign, they were unable to withstand attacks from the smaller Dominion attack ships.
Starfleet began the task of creating smaller ships with heavy shielding and heavy weapons but manoeuvrable. The Defiant had already been proven and the next ships to appear were the Akira, Sabre, and Norway. But these were, in general, combat orientated vessels Starfleet felt that at wars end an effort to return to the exploratory roots should be a priority in order to find new resources for the federation.
The Griffin Class was developed as the first of smaller long-range ships to carry out the science and exploratory duties of the Starfleet, unfortunately some in Starfleet saw a potential in creating a heavy combat vessel from the Griffin Class and so it was re-classed as an escort. But the ship still became its original concept as the Uss Gryphon (Griffin Class science/explorer variant)

The Griffin also utilises a segmented saucer design witch allows certain segments to be replaced depending on the mission.
Segments available would be:

1)   STANDARD SECTIONS
2)   HEAVY PHASER CANNONS
3)   PULSE PHASER CANNONS
4)   SENSOR SECTIONS
5)   EXTRA MEDICAL BAYS

The Ship has had four major configurations:
1)USS GRIFFIN (Griffin Class Light Cruiser/ Escort)
2)USS DRAGON (Griffin Class Heavy Escort{pulse phasers})
3)USS GRYPHON (Griffin Class Science/Explorer)
4)USS UNICORN (Griffin Class Medical)
The first ship the Uss Griffin was the prototype and incorporated some of the concepts that were enhanced upon in the other three.

Standard configuration of the Griffin Class

1) False bridge which acts as an energy syphon and transfers the energy from directed energy weapons to the ships systems, the shields must be down over the false bridge.
2) Retracted nacelle system, while at normal impulse travel the ships nacelles are retracted close to the ship, this reduces the power needed for the shield bubble due to the smaller cross sectional area of the ship.
3) Enhanced Sensor range and resolution new designs developed after the USS VOYAGER returned to federation space enables the Griffin to be the most advanced ship in the gathering of sensor data.
4) 14 Type X phaser strips.
5) 2 Forward and 1 Aft Torpedo launchers.

best line I've ever read
Me: mine [my bridges] would probably be simple to get the characters to use.  the only person that sits is the captian.
Baz: space is vast there[sic] legs will be tired by the time they get to the next planet
