Comments:

Despite her age, the Tannhauser is currently the Flagship of Taskforce 42. She has retained this position chiefly due to her superior diplomatic and command and co-ordination facilities.

The Ambassador class is now considered generally obsolete in front line roles and the Tannhauser was due for replacement within the taskforce at the time the Malaya was destroyed. It seems likely that she will now be forced to soldier on for at least another year until another replacement starship is available.

The Tannhauser was refitted to Yamaguchi sub class standard in 2354 and as a result although she has the least raw firepower of the taskforce's capital ships, she remains one of the toughest.
