Intrepid class frigate (RN)
RogerBW
This is a common war-era design. The nuclear thermal rocket is used for combat manoeuvres, leaving the antimatter out of the hydrogen stream, for greater acceleration but vastly less efficiency; these ships usually need to re-tank after an engagement. Most have been demilitarised and sold or scrapped.
