       The Lenin class starship represents the state of the art in 2120. The Lenin was in use from 2120 until the Introduction of the Daedalus class ships in the 2160s. At this time the remaining Lenin class ships were phased out, or refitted as gunboats for Federation defense. The last Lenin class ship in active duty was the U.S.S. Anwar Sadat, in service until 2212 as a cadet training ship with Starfleet Academy.
       Starfleet built 37 of the Lenin class ships. The high numbers of this type are due to losses in the Romulan War. Half the Lenin class ships built are known to have been destroyed in combat.
       Lenin class ships represent the height of starship design before the introduction of hull integrity fields. The Lenin ships while fairly large in volume, were severely limited by the fact that they had to depend entirely on the structure of the ship to hold the ship together. As a result they were vastly overbuilt compared to vessels built even 30 years later, and were limited from performing violent maneuvers in warp, not that they would want to as sensors in subspace were primitive at the time.
       Lenins were the first ships fitted with subspace sensors. The first ships that did not fly blind while in warp. Lenin class ships were also the last class to incorporate hibernation systems as a standard design feature.

       Ships serving after the introduction of hull intengrity fields were upgraded to use them on the external hull only. By this time the Lenin class was outdated and the limitations of the design outweighed the benefits of further upgrading.

       The Lenins were hard used, and only five remained to be phased out of active duty in 2167. They suffered losses in service from both war and the rigors of space that would be unacceptable under today's standards.

       The 22nd century is noted for rapid advancement in warp drive, and related technologies. Ships were often built with drives and other systems that were state of the art in the design phase, and out of date as the ship was commissioned. Many ship classes are represented by a single type. Similar looking ships could be totally different under the skin. The era established the common Federation design of primary and secondary hull with extended warp nacelles. The U.S.S. Vladimer Lenin and her sister ships represents the height of the art of the Starship in the time before this standard was established.
