Background information 
The Friendship-class was designed by Daniel J. Burns, going for a "clean and svelte" look, with "a minimum of fuss."   Additional unused concepts considered for the design was that the bridge was located in the inner-saucer ring, which could rotate to allow the warp nacelles to dock with the saucer.  

The name Friendship-class was not used on screen, and was first used in Eaglemoss/Hero Collector's Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet Ships 2294 to the Future (2nd ed., pp. 262-265). That publication suggests two additional ships of this class were the  (NCC-325005) and the  (NCC-325010).
