On stardate 49011, after six months of work, Lasca and Kim conducted a presentation to Admiral Strickler on the Yellowstone, focusing on the fracture problem. Several weeks were spent on resolving the problem, which was "cured" with new plasma flow equations. The Yellowstone had one key design flaw in terms of working out a dilithium fracture problem. Kim was responsible for designing the new tetryon plasma warp engines. Two key members of the design team were Lieutenant Lasca and Ensign Harry Kim. The prototype vessel of this class was the USS Yellowstone, which was designed by the Starfleet Engineering Corps and constructed in late- 2371. Standard performance of this vehicle was warp 4 for 38 hours, and warp 6.2 for 32 hours.
Standard maximum payload was 6.6 metric tons, and uprated maximum payload was 8.9 metric tons. Mass of this vehicle was 4.5 metric tons empty. The vehicle was 10.5 meters in length, 4.2 meters in beam, and 3.6 meters in height. Power plants were two tetryon plasma warp nacelles and twelve microfusion thrusters. According to the master systems display, the runabout accommodated two flight crew and one cargo specialist.
