I agree that the refrence I state is not "Official"Cannon .
Drop the the Akyazi class perimiter action ships the Arbiter sub class and Akula sub classes were replaced by the Adeliade class of ships . The Adelaide class is a Improved ship class to do the roles of all three previous classes of the Perimiter Action ship types . this Improved version has bested the three Akyazi classes of ship in peformance. one reason this class is better than the Akula's sub class because it lacks the downward projecting deflector pod and the those massive support pylons that hold it . According from sources that I have used in reference . The best Of Dockyard Reveiw Volume #1 2290-2350 Pagees 35-38 The Adelaide class was approved for construction in 2293 and completion of all ten hulls was completed by early 2396.
CONCLUSION
The Adelaide class takes the best elements of the Akyazi, Arbiter, and Akula classes and combines them into a single platform. However, as Star Fleet approaches the 24th century, the profile and scale of ships deployed across the known universe had begun to change. Perimeter Action ships found themselves facing increasingly difficult odds when confronted with ships that more often then not would feature equal or even superior tactical systems. With this in mind, in late 2295, Star Fleet decided to cancel the construction of the remaining 12 hulls of the Adelaide class. Though 10 completed hulls have proven themselves to be a capable performers, no additional vessels are planned at this time, though current plans call for the Akyazi and Arbiter sub-classes to undergo modification to the Adelaide’s specs as they reach their SLEP.
