Kor mentions the Klingon D5 ship in DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach". Instead of the two disruptor cannons, it has additional deuterium pods with a capacity of more than 80,000 liters and most likely limited combat readiness. The D5 is a Klingon ship type that was easily superior to Enterprise around 2150 and became outdated prior to 2270. Although it looks different than the vessel we saw in "Unexpected", we may want to imagine it was in the episode. He followed the sketch by John Eaves and added typical features of other 22nd century Klingon designs, like the struts between the command and the engineering hull. Rob Bonchune eventually built a CGI of the said Klingon ship, which he labeled as "D4 cruiser". After Broken Bow, everyone had already worked so much overtime'." - In other words, the K't'inga was not the model we were meant to see in the episode.

'But that particular type of Klingon ship will not be used again, because they decided that it just didn't fit into their vision for this universe.' Rob admits that, he for one, is sorry the old ship was used, but acknowledges there was no alternative.

They decided it could only be used with major changes, but after their work on Broken Bow the team was simply too exhausted to work through the night in a desperate attempt to get the shots ready. 'It was kind of the same shape as the original Klingon battle cruiser just a little more primitive. Star Trek: The Magazine clears up the issue: "As Rob explains, John Eaves had designed a new Klingon ship specifically for this scene. 
As opposed to what was visible on screen, it must have been a much older, yet similar class.

If we believed that, it would predate the whole class by a full 120 years, so that K't'ingas would be in service for at least 225 years(!) altogether, from 2151 to 2376.
