  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Deneva class starship
The Ambassador class starship is a rarely seen starship class in the fictional Star Trek universe built in the early 24th century.
The Ambassador class was probably first put into service during the first part of the 24th century in response to the growing tensions with the Romulans, serving in many of the major crises of the 24th century such as the Dominion War and Borg incursions.
The starship Ambassador was the pathfinder of its class.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Antares class starship
Antares is the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpio, as observed from Earth.
The name Antares for a starship was first used in the TOS episode "Charlie X", but screen evidence of the vessel is missing and the registry remained unknown for the next 25 years.
The alien Antares class might be anything else, probably a generic term like in theory A. This solution is favored by those who don't trust in Okuda's possibly arbitrary numbering and classifying of ships in the Encyclopedia.

Akira Class vessels are part of the new belief that smaller, faster, more maneuverable Starships are needed to better serve Starfleet's, and, by extension, the Federation's needs.
To increase the combat efficiency of the Akira class, Yoyodyne propulsion systems lead designer Alex Jaeger proposed the addition of two additional torpedo launchers, each armed with 5 tubes, to be located both in the dorsal and ventral portion of the main dish hull and fixed to the forward firing arc.
The normal flight and mission operations of the Akira class starship are conducted in accordance with a variety of Starfleet standard operating rules, determined by the current operational state of the starship.

The Akira-class starship is a class of Federation Starfleet starship in the Star Trek fictional universe, appearing first in Star Trek: First Contact and subsequently in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.
Ships of the Akira class are large vessels composed of a circular, saucer-shaped primary hull with a low-slung navigational deflector and two beams rising from the top heading aft; the beams attach to an arch that supports two warp nacelles at its ends and a weapons pod that fires photon torpedoes at its zenith.

Like a few other classes, the Akira class starship was originally designed for one purpose and one purpose only -- to combat the Borg invasion of 2373 (Star Trek: First Contact) which had been anticipated for years.
The Endeavor is the seventh of the class, designated NCC-71805-A. The original Endeavor was a Nebula class starship that was so severely damaged during the Borg invasion of 2373, that she had to be put out of commission.
There are 34 decks on this starship class, with most of the major functional areas located higher up in the saucer section and at the low points of the engineering module.

 Akira Class
Taking a close look at Akira Class, one can see a hull design that in some ways resembles the older Miranda shape, and hails from lineage perpetuated by Loknar, Compton and Nautilus Classes, indeed the basic configuration can be traced back to some early Starfleet ships such as the P Class and NX Class Cruisers.
The Akira fleet faired very well in recent Dominion engagements, although more than ten were lost during the recent defence of yet another Borg incursion into Federation space.
Like others, I presume this class to be a fairly recent addition to the fleet, a prototype construction date being no earlier than 2365, more realistically 2370, as this class looks brand new, with a fresh concept.

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Hope and Fear" introduced yet another new Federation style starship, the U.S.S. Dauntless NX-01-A. This is a very sleek ship, and, like the Prometheus, features the newer triangular style saucer section (we won't be able to call them "saucers" much longer!), and is basically a one piece hull.
Instead of nacelles, the ship has a single blue glowing engine block on the underside, and two small pods, possibly conventional warp engines, extending to the rear.

If the Akira was designed off of the NX because of the need of a smaller, faster ship to combat the growing threat of the Dominion, it would have had to come into service after the discovery of the Jem'Hadar.

Which is why I would say that Akira is, at best, a TRANSPORT for fighters from one location to another, capable of getting them and their support equipment to their area of operation faster than they could get there on their own.
I figure this would be secondary to Akira's normal role, using large screens of shuttles over a wide area spreading a tachyon detection net or something of that nature, waiting for something to trip the alarm.
Starship sensors are apparently capable of locking on to individual life forms on a planet from orbit, and precise enough to beam them aboard without taking a piece of the rock face next to them.
