Edit
The Daedalus class was commissioned in 2162. The spaceframe was designed by the Tellarite Gnarr. It included technology from Vulcan vessels as well as many advances made during the Earth-Romulan War.
The class started to be withdrawn from service in 2196 as newer vessels such as the Venture-class and Armstrong-class vessels started to fill its roles in the fleet. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era)
