At least six vessels of this class entered service: USS Fredrikstad (Ships of the Star Fleet, Volume 1 (Revised)), USS Malverne. (Star Trek: Malverne: \"Police Action\"; Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: \"Pomp and Circumstantial Evidence\"; Star Trek: Avenger: \"The Road Goes Ever On\", \"To Everything There is a Season\"), USS Ranger (Starfleet International: Scott A. Akers, et al., Master Genealogy: Starfleet Region 12), USS Zhukov, USS Julius Caesar and USS George Washington. Three ships of this class \u2014 USS Zhukov, USS Julius Caesar and USS George Washington \u2014 might not exist in the same continuity as the George Washington-class space control ships. The names Zhukov, Julius Caesar and George Washington may have been assigned to Fredrikstad class hulls when funding for the George Washington class wasn't authorized."@en .
