Less than ten of these ships. Six?
A determined aggressor, with a smoking hot industrial base, will be pushing out ten of these a month.

It's okay . . . these are practically unarmed, as their primary weapon systems are still having the bugs worked out. The rest of the class have been floating around with just the main gun as their main armament (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/05/type_45_gets_one_off_at_last/)
