  Ex Astris Scientia - Challenger Class Reconstruction
Ever since fans have begun to spread their ideas on Star Trek starships across the web, it seemed clear that the Challenger class should be some sort of Constitution refit kitbash, as suggested in a fan description from Okuda's famous slide show.
The Challenger, according to Okuda's own statements from February 2000 is actually a ship of the Galaxy family with vertically staggered nacelles.
One argument for the Challenger is that the secondary hull of the Excelsior study model II would have to reach up to the center of the saucer which it apparently doesn't.

The Intrepid class itself is a departure from the traditional ovoid saucer section, continuing the Norway type trend of the arrowhead saucer while still keeping the basic curves that defined almost all starships before it.

Following the 2271 refit of the class, the Constitution was equipped with a linear dilithium-controlled MARA (Matter/Antimatter Reactor Assembly), and a pulse dilithium-controlled assembly was installed in 2285 aboard the USS Enterprise.
