Federation ships, often designed as frigates. The starships Renegade and Thomas Paine (TNG "Conspiracy") were both New Orleans-class ships, as was the Kyushu.
(TNG "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II").
A study model was made for this class of ship and was seen very briefly as the Kyushu in the ship graveyard in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II." Named for the Ship we called the City of New Orleans.
