Named after their primary shipyards installation, the Sovernmy-class destroyer is the Straser Imperium's response to the Casian Dart-class. While designs for a universal destroyer were already in the works within the Imperial Navy, the start of the Feral War halted new productions. Once the Great Scouring was over and the Casian Federal Navy unveiled the Dart-class, a new design was quickly adopted and put into production. Supposedly designed by Alferd Sovernmy himself, the Sovernmy class destroyer is considered slightly overweight for a destroyer, approaching the size of a frigate, but it makes good use of this extra weight, which comes mostly from armoured hull portions. In fact, the Sovernmy is the most heavily armoured destroyer class on the Continent. It sacrifices speed and maneuverability for this, but it also has a respectable amount of weapons, featuring seven light repeaters, four aerial torpedo launchers and one missile launcher. These weapons are sparsely distributed along the hull, further increasing survivability.
The Sovernmy class is in many ways an opposite to the Dart class, favoring armour over weapons whereas the Dart crams as much firepower as possible onto its hull. In theory, these two destroyer types should be relatively evenly-matched, with the Sovernmy's higher numbers giving it the advantage. In practice, however, the slow speed of the Sovernmy denies it the ability to avoid the Dart's massive firepower, and allows the Dart class to stay out of range of the Imperials' slightly less capable guns while staying in range of their own guns. Consequently, Sovernmy class destroyers are always deployed in large numbers, usually with a larger vessel in support. While this gives the Imperial Navy a strong fist, it lacks strategic mobility and tactical flexibility.
The Sovernmy class was too late to see action during the Feral War, but saw its first action soon after in the Annexation Conflict, proving itself very capable when deployed in large numbers. It reinforced its reputation further during the Rasyan Civil War, which was the first conflict in which it was pitted against the Dart class. The results were inconclusive, with neither class destroying the other in any significant numbers. However, it was during the Continental War that the Sovernmy was truly put to the test. The backbone of the Imperial Navy, more numerous than any other warship on the Continent, was thrust against the might of the Allied Nations.
It is doubtful whether the Allied navies could have individually beaten the colossal weight of the Imperial Navy, but together, they managed to secure victory after victory, the Sovernmy was just not capable enough on its own to stand agianst its foes, and large fleets are easier to track and ambush.
Overall, while lacking in terms of pure performance, the Sovernmy is still a foe to be reckoned with, and its ease of production and low cost have made it a favorite of navies throughout the Continent, many of whom do not hesitate to buy warships from a nation they were once at war with.

54 year old English Electric Type 3 Class 37 Co-Co diesel locomotive 37407 in British Rail 'large logo' livery as operated by Direct Rail Services top and tailed with 37716 working the Greater Anglia Norwich- Great Yarmouth 'drags' short set at Norwich Station at the end of the Great Eastern Main Line in Norfolk (UK).
An extremely rare example of a 50+ year old first generation diesel locomotive hauled service train.
37407 was built at The English Electric Vulcan Foundry in Newton le Willows and entered service as British Railways Type 3 D6605 on October 10th 1965.
The British Rail 'large logo' livery first appeared on a [Class 56] locomotive in 1978.
The Saber-class of Federation starship was first introduced in the late 24th century, and was in full service by 2373. The ship featured a design more compact than other Starfleet vessels, and was fairly well armed despite its small size; the class has featured prominently in the Battle of Sector 001 against the Borg and in the Dominion War.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia and ILM both used the American spelling, "Saber", and the British spelling, "Sabre", in several places. For consistency, Memory Alpha uses the American spelling.
During the pre-production phase of Star Trek: First Contact, the producers approved alternative backups for ship names and registries. The ship scale sheet showing the back-up names and registries can be found on John Eaves' blog.

The Saber-class starship was designed by Alex Jaeger at ILM. In 2009, Jaeger made these detailed observations about his design,
Yes the notch in the front is a forward launch bay. And yes the name Yeager is after Chuck Yeager as is the NCC # 6-1947... the year he broke the sound barrier. Also there was another design that was not used in the film that was given the USS Yeager name, so I wanted to make sure that at least the name made it through. The unused design was posted on John's blog [1] it was the 1st design in that post. The textures are from the Galaxy-class Enterprise, it was a quick way to show that even though it was a 'new' design, it was of the older era ships compared to the then new Enterprise-E. The # of new ship designs in Star Trek: First Contact was actually only 4, the Sabre, Steamrunner, Norway and of course the Akira. The goal with all of those ships was to make them look completely different from the Enterprise as we were introducing the E in that film and they didn't want people going, 'wait, which one's the Enterprise?' Therefore the very radical layouts on those 4 ships, but still keeping true to the basics of starship design, such as the deflector dish and Nacelle Bussard collectors must have a clear view to open space in the front view etc...
Actually ILM was using Electric Image for animation and Form-Z for the models of these ships back then. I don't recall the actual size numbers, I just remember saying it was about the size of the Enterprise's Saucer section. Interesting note I just found that there was second version of the Sabre with a 3rd Nacelle on top called the U.S.S. Saratoga, it also has a wider lower hull for a larger deflector dish and the 3rd nacelle was one from the D Enterprise. I had forgotten about that one! Also in the original sketch I did, the escape pods were lined up along the 'secondary hull' on either side of the red stripe, but when I modeled it something changed and I put them back on the 'saucer' section.
A couple more notes about this ship, as some of you have mentioned it's very compact. I basically approached it from the stand point of getting rid of all the struts and necks as possible and still maintain the 2 hull look. So there is still the flat horizontal 'saucer' section and the vertical (although more triangular) secondary hull. The only 'struts' are the stubs holding the nacelles off the saucer edges. I figured I could get away with this compactness since the Defiant had been introduced by the time FC came around. The impulse engines should not be glowing all over, you are correct that they only glow at the opening in the back. And as far as the CG model's life, these were VERY low res models, especially the Norway-class, so it's no surprise to me that they've been remodeled several times. Although now that I'm a better 3D modeler I'd like to take a crack at a redesign."
I love this photo. Almost all the kids are happy and even rarer, there are no badly blurred faces. Everyone kept still!
I didn't even notice the little black girl until after I bought it. Anyone know what the story might be with her?
Found photo, no date, probably American.
"Emily J" is written on the back. I wish I knew which one she was!
Full size is best

The Class of 2014 climbed the risers on the Plain on Thursday, April 10, 2014 for their class photo. Always a fun event to capture. The Class photo will be available from PanFoto in the very near future.
The Hastings school is ideal for students who prefer to study in a small coastal town. Not everyone wants to live amongst the hustle and bustle of the capital city.
Hastings is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is only an hour and a half from central London and less than an hour from Brighton. The train station is 2 minutes from the school with trains running directly to London and Brighton in every 20 minutes.
We are in a large, impressive Victorian terrace right in the middle of Hastings town centre.
The building may be large but the atmosphere is personal and friendly.
With this excellent location, you are only minutes away from the shops and restaurants in central Hastings.

60 047 gets a shunt around in the sunshine by TOTON No1 ( 08 480 ) on the morning of 17-05-15 at 09:47.
This Pic is from my personal photo collection taken from 2012 onward as I again returned to follow my hobby of photographing and bashing locos around the UK .
After spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it's time to show them and not let them hide away in a box or on some hard drive.
Please Enjoy.
Class 08 D3022 at the servicing area at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway. This diesel electric shunting locomotive was built in 1953 which makes it 60 years old as I write this .Nearly 1000 of this class were built. It is incredible that some are still in service with Britain’s mainline railway operators.

These images were a part of a concept shoot I photographed back in April. I wanted to make a caricature of the classroom stereotypes that we've all been exposed to at one point or another.
I chose to add the green tint to emphasise the classroom atmosphere and the horrible flouro lights.
The children on this shoot were not models. They are students at the school that my two sons attend (my sons are 'class clown', 'nerd' and 'messy kid' ). ALL of the children were amazing and a whole lot of laughs.
Remember to check out the expressions on the faces of this kids in the background. Some of them are truly brilliant.
