Escort
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
In starship classification, an escort is designated as being a small starship which is generally given a protection role, moving with less maneuverable ships or vessels with lighter armament. Escorts can further be classified as fast escorts or heavy escorts. Light escorts are also called corvettes.
In 2371, the Defiant-class was officially designated as being an escort, although its use was thought to be a euphemism, as the Defiant-class was described as being one of the most powerful warships in the Alpha Quadrant. (DS9 novelization: The Search; DS9 episode: "Defiant")
