An Ambassador-class heavy cruiser
In starship classification, a heavy cruiser was a large multi-purpose starship.
While the Federation considered their Constitution-class starships to be heavy cruisers in their heyday, the Klingons referred to the refit version of the same vessel, in their terms, as a battle cruiser. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
Ambassador-class starships were also classified as heavy cruisers. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
In an alternate timeline, the Ambassador-class was simply referred to as a cruiser. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
