Many Years ago they (who's they?) came out with the Enterprise blue prints
and various other objects (ie tricorder,phasor) seen in the television show.
There was also included pictures or drawings of various other ships in the
fleet (deepspace tugs, Destroyer class ect.) and one was of the Drednought
class with 3 warp engines.  Under the drawing was a statement that Starfleet
hand no plans to build the Dreadnought class ships at this time. Making the
Heavy Cruiser (Constitution Class) ships the Largest in the fleet.
