Romulan battle cruiser

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

You may also be looking for the 23rd century D7 class battle cruiser.

The original Romulan battle cruiser was the replacement model of the Romulan Star Empire for their Bird-of-Prey. The usage of the term would continue to be used by the Federation to describe an otherwise unknown class of Romulan starship during the 2360s.

In 2364, a contingent of seven Romulan battle cruisers converged on a Federation border outpost. Despite the outpost calling for reinforcements from the nearby USS Berlin, and USS Enterprise-D, the encounter ended without incident. (TNG: "Angel One")

The definition of the term "Romulan battle cruiser" in Star Trek: The Next Generation is unclear. It may be in reference to the Romulan Warbird, as Riker referred to the D'deridex-class, IRW Haakona, as a "Romulan battle cruiser", however, Riker also referred to their weaponry as "phasers" and "photon torpedoes"; a reference that is dubious, at best.
