The Delphi has largely been supplanted by the kennedy missile cruisers for fleet defense. The Delphi is still employed when extensive close abroad battle is expected, however an older and

relatively expensive design, its days are no doubt numbered. The connestoga class light cruiser is expected to perform as a lighter and less expensive alternative to the Delphi, being only slightly smaller with weapons of comparable offensive capability.
