Description
The K't'inga-class battle cruiser was a primary class of warship in service with the Klingon Imperial Fleet in the 23rd century, and with the Klingon Defense Force in the mid-to-late 24th century.
The K't'inga-class cruiser was considered one of the most powerful warships in the Klingon Defense Forces, having entered service in or around 2259, when three ships were sent to destroy a naturally occurring subspace fold. This fold caused the ship's crews to sing after an improbability field emanated from it, which the Klingons found to be dishonorable.

The K't'inga-class cruiser was one of the most advanced and versatile warships in the Klingon Imperial Fleet. Although the tactical effectiveness of the K't'inga relative to other ships was never firmly established in true canon, it was capable of challenging a Constitution II-class heavy cruiser without fear, threatening an Excelsior class cruiser in a stand-off situation, and in small numbers it could inflict severe damage on an Excelsior class cruiser.

The outboard plan of the K't'inga design incorporated the same basic shape and classic design lineage dating back over one hundred years to the D5-class battle cruiser.
The K't'inga cruiser was a direct offshoot in design-lineage from the venerable D7-class battle cruiser introduced sometime prior to 2267.
The bulk of the ship's overall mass was incorporated in the aft section of the ship. The bridge module was located on a bulbous forward section, which was separated from the aft section by a relatively thin connective section that attached to and flared into the aft section. Located on the caudal section of the ship were the ship's impulse engines. Jutting from below the port and starboard side of the ship's aft section were the ship's warp nacelles.
Aside from possessing a slightly sleeker shape and contour than its D7-class predecessor, the most notable design variations between the two classes included a less bulbous forward section, a larger bridge dome, differently-designed warp nacelles, and more extensive external hull plating.

The weapon systems aboard the K't'inga-class cruisers have included phasers, disruptors, photon torpedo launchers, and concussive charges.
The torpedo launchers included one torpedo tube in the forward section, and one aft. The forward torpedo bay was located below the bridge, in the foremost part of the ship, while the aft torpedo bay was located between the impulse engines. During the arming sequence, the interior perimeter of the torpedo tube area glowed a bright red until one or more torpedoes were fired.
This class of ship was also equipped with two forward mounted phasers. (TNG: "The Emissary") This phaser and torpedo weaponry was considered state of the art during the 2290s. They were no match for a Galaxy-class starship of the 2360s, but were, however, more than a match for any weakly-defended colony or outpost at the time.
By the late 24th century, K't'inga-class battle cruisers had been retrofitted to keep up with the advances of technology. In the 2370s, their forward torpedo launchers included a powerful disruptor emitter, allowing these vessels to remain formidable adversaries.
