The Bradbury class was a type of heavy frigate in service to the Federation Starfleet in the late 24th century.

The design of the Bradbury shared several aspects as the latter Intrepid-class. The ship was equipped with a torpedo pod that was connected to the dorsal side of the engineering section and overlooked the saucer section. The pod contained five torpedo launchers, three facing forward and two aft. The class was also capable of entering a planetary atmosphere and landing on the surface.

The prototype USS Bradbury was launched in 2362, and many other vessels of the class entered service throughout the 2360s and 2370s, with many serving during the Dominion War. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet; The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)
