  USS Monarch, NX 1943
U.S.S. Monarch - or the 'Monolith' as her crew affectionately calls her - was one of two Soyuz class starships reconfigured after the fleet rundown was completed in 2288.
U.S.S Aegis [NX 1942] met her fate in 2289 when she was aptly used to test new shield technologies to destruction at the hands of the U.S.S. Lexington [NCC 1709].
The registry number for U.S.S. Bozeman was chosen as homage to the film '1941', whereas I chose 1943 for Monarch as a tip-of-the-hat to the birthyear of a close family member whose identity I shall keep secret to protect the innocent.

GENERAL BEAUREGARD exploded and was sinking fast as MONARCH captured the rest of her complement and took her in tow towards the Arkansas shore, where the wreck remained for a short time partially visible in shoal water.
In August she grounded again, downriver off Bayou Sara, La., and was abandoned except for spare-part raids on her machinery by the rest of the squadron at periods of low water; before the local populace completed stripping her, Confederate authorities succeeded in setting fire to the hulk.
Davidson flashed a white light in token of surrender, thus gaining time to beach his ship in 14 feet of water, three-quarters of a mile offshore and escape on the land side with all hands; this was construed as "the most consummate treachery" by the disappointed blockading crew.

Whilst there is no different texture or mesh over the standard Monarch class, she has upgraded systems and a higher build time.
Looking at the Enterprise J briefly seen in the Enterprise episode in which is starred, I'd say this is a close resemblance, or at least a very god one concerning the issue of limitations of quality due to this being Armada and not Bridge Commander, for example.
In terms of the performance of the three craft though, all are very powerful but this one against the Monarch refit would be very close.
