      The Miranda class starship made it's first appearance in StarTrek II: Wrath of Khan as the U.S.S. Reliant. This was the first time that is was established that the Federation uses modular designs for their starships, the ship was built primarily from parts of the Enterprise-A (which was, of course, a cost saving measure during the production of the movie). This model has appeared almost as often as the Excelsior, and has been modified on several occasions to represent different ships. Some notable variations are the U.S.S. Lantrey (Reliant minus the "roll bar"), U.S.S. Saratoga (Reliant with some extra weapons pods), and the U.S.S. Bozeman.
