The Sea of Tranquility frigate class will follow on from the Arafura class which has just completed production. The SOT is the Terran Sea D though some has cheekily called it the "Luna Sea" class. At a DDS Media Briefing to announce the beginning of construction of the first example it was announced that the sprint speed has been slightly increased following refinements to the hyperspace geometry. TPM load has also been increased slightly following some slight changes to the internal layout.
The biggest surprise however was that the class has been increased from 3 to 5 examples. The first example F161 Sea of Tranquility is expected to enter testing in the Autumn with an expected entry in service before the end of the year.
