The Ptolemy-class tug/transports were a class of starship in operation during the 23rd century.
Based on the standard Starfleet design tree and hull components of the time, the Ptolemy-class replaced the engineering hull of the Constitution-class with a connector at the base of the connecting neck, which could accept a variety of transport containers.

Background
The Ptolemy-class starship was originally seen on a display in the Starfleet Academy's training simulation in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The display was literally a page pulled from Franz Josephs' Star Fleet Technical Manual.
Apocrypha
In the CD-ROM game Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (PC), the USS Enterprise was assigned to recapture a Ptolemy-class Starfleet tug, the USS Masada (NCC-293391) that had been hijacked by Elasi pirates. The ship was desribed as having a crew of 17, captained by Lt. Kevin Walker.
The Ptolemy-class is also present in the Star Fleet Universe in which it serves as part of the Federation's logistical network in peace and war. In Star Fleet Battles Module R8, a scenario is presented in which Ptolemy herself is tasked with transporting the crippled vessel Star Tiger out of danger in the early part of the General War.
