The Type 18 is also considerably more heavily armed than its predecessor; there are two type III phaser weapons mounted in a small turret on the dorsal hull plate, giving a total of four times the firepower of the Type 15's single emitter. However, neither craft is a serious combat platform since they both lack shielding.
The Type 18 is expected to remain in production for the duration of
the Dominion war at least, and possibly for some considerable time afterwards.
