The Hameln II was an earlier class of destroyer and had a larger less efficient engine section compared to the main destroyer class of 788 UC (479 IC / 3588 CE). The rear engine section had visual similarities to the even earlier destroyer class of 745 UC (436 IC / 3545 CE).
Background information
The name Hameln II is a reference to the German name for Hamelin, a city in central Germany.
Apocrypha
Although the extra features from the DVD box set mentioned that the Hameln II had a crew of 25, there were at least 36 people on board the ship on screen, which is most likely a production error.
