I thought it was going to be this week, but this time I mean it! Next week, Chris Weuve and Chris Carlson continue their three-part discussion of some NAVSEA studies from the late 1980s and early 1990s, focusing on "Well Deck Combatants." In other words, the USN does battle riders!

Starfleet Tactical #199: Trek Canon, Fleet Design, and the BROWNWOOD class Assault Transport [July 25 2026 @9pm ET]
While researching the BELKNAP class and its derivatives, Chris rediscovered the BROWNWOOD class Assault Transport/Tug. An answer to the burning question what if a MIRANDA class frigate/cruiser and a PTOLEMY class transport/tug love each other very much?, the BROWNWOOD appears to be a fully functional MIRANDA that can also take the multiple cargo containers of the PTOLEMY class. This ship is brilliant, despite the fact that it only exists in, effectively, two fandom sources (Jackills Starfleet Reference Manual: Ships of the Fleet, Volume I, and https://fasaststcs.com/, the website for the FASA Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator).
But this ship got Chris thinking about Starfleets fleet design process, and begs questions not only about Starfleets requirements and design process. but how to think about canon.
So, come along for the ride as Chris explores this design, its implications for the setting (both actual and what they should be), and how to handle canon when fandom is smarter than the production studio.
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.
CHRISTOPHER WEUVE is a professional naval analyst and wargame designer. He is a co-founder of the Connections Online wargame conference, held every April via YouTube. Outside the day job, Chris is a co-founder of BuNine (David Webers Honorverse analytic visualization team), and has also consulted with Chuck Gannon, Walter Hunt, Alec Peters, Tom Harlan, John Lumpkin, and others. His work has been featured by Baen Books, the US Naval War College Review, Foreign Policy, and the Discovery Channel. Since May 2020 hes been the co-host (with Pat Doyle) of Starfleet Tactical on the Ares Studio channel on YouTube. His hobbies are naval history, science fiction, and not speaking for his employer.
