The USS Chimera (NCC-91010) was the first ship of the Chimera-class escort/battleship. The original plans were laid on Stardate 44000.6, following the Battle of Wolf 359. She was designed for the same purpose as the Defiant-class ships, and as a result much of the construction, including the bridge design, is virtually the same. At first her fate was similar to the USS Defiant, and because of the amount of resources being put into the rebuilding effort the Chimera was put on hold. (Star Trek: Chimera)
