	The development of the Crossfield Class was first initiated by Socialist Defence Minister George Webber. In a press conference he stated;<blockquote>"The future of space travel sits before us. Engineers from across Doggerland are coming together to ''eliminate the impossible, ''so today I am announcing the construction of two new starships. The U.S.S. Discovery and the U.S.S. Holmes. Both of the Crossfield Class." -Minister George Webber</blockquote>The design was based on a 23rd century Starfleet design which was used as concepts for the USS Georgiou. However, the design was never finalised and so engineers based the Crossfield off this design. The design was finalised in May 3016. The U.S.S. ''Discovery ''was the first Crossfield to be laid down (July 31, 3016), however shortly following this the ''Holmes ''was laid down on August 10, 3016. Construction was swift, with little interruptions or delays. The ''Discovery'' was completed first, with the ''Holmes ''being completed three weeks later. Both the ''Holmes ''and the ''Discovery ''began their space trails on September 6, 3016.		The development of the Crossfield Class was first initiated by Socialist Defence Minister George Webber.

Captain Terrance Cruz was the first to command the ''Holmes,'' however, Captain Andrew McNeill would take command shortly following the launch.

== Fate ==
The ''Homes ''was destroyed on the 25th of March, 3016 following an error with the ships Warp core. Official FAF report states the connection of untested Nitronium based weapons were directly linked to an overload in the anti-matter injection system, which resulted in a full-scale warp core breach. All hands were lost, including Captain McNeill.

== Awards ==
The ''Holmes ''received the Presidential Unit Citation in 3019 for "continued and consistent excellent service" following it's take over by the Novanite Federation in 3019. Captain McNeill received the Presidential Medal of Valour, becoming the first Starfleet officer to receive the award under the new Novanite President.
