Isamu

The Isamu combat frigate is effectively the Cardassian equivalent to the Miranda-A, trading some shield strength for more firepower. The Federation has encountered very few of these craft, with one being destroyed in early Gabriel skirmishes before they appear to have been withdrawn from direct confrontations with Federation ships. In comparison to the Takaaki Destroyer, it has slightly less powerful shields and slightly weaker hull.

These ships were reported as withdrawn from Cardassian service and scrapped in favor of the Takaaki variants and the forthcoming Kapit variants before 2320. However, at least one was reported active in the Lecarre fleet in 2324; more recent reports do not carry it.
