Designed to continually bombard fixed ground based or orbital positions, the Darhe’el class was never a popular class with Cardassian commanders who preferred beam weapons over missiles. The Darhe’el military record was undeniable, though, with multiple victories attributed to its unique combat style.
The Darhe’el has served in almost every Cardassian conflicts since its inception, and became a favorite target of the Klingons during the Klingon-Cardassian conflict of 2372. While the Darhe’el class saw significant losses during that conflict, and the later Dominion War, its record remains impressive despite this.
The Darhe’el class is now relegated to less combat-oriented missions as the Cardassians continue to avoid major conflicts. Of the 91 Built, 18 Type-2s are currently in service, with 27 in reserve fleets. 2 Type-1s and 19 Type-2s have been destroyed. 3 Type-2s were captured and 1 is listed as missing. 1 Type-1 and 20 Type-2s have been scrapped.
