By April [[2765]], more than a hundred ''Pintos'' were serving openly in the navies of the various Periphery nations; the Rim Worlds Republic fielded by far the greatest number, with fifty-two hulls in service, but the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] had twenty in service and the [[Taurian Concordat]] had another eighteen in service.<ref name="FR2765:Pp4">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 4: "WarShips of the Territorial States"</ref> The navy of the [[Outworlds Alliance]] consisted entirely of ''Pintos'' at this point—fifteen in total<ref name="FR2765:Pp4"/>—and the Alliance was also capable of manufacturing its own ''Pintos'' in the [[Alpheratz]] system beginning almost immediately after the repeal of the Star League [[Council Edict of 2650]] in the mid-[[twenty-eighth century]].<ref name="FR2765:Pp5">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 5: "Strategic Update"</ref> Other shipyards within Alliance space were also involved in contributing to the manufacture of ''Pintos'',<ref name="FR2765:Pp5"/> possibly including the [[Ramora Shipyards]] operated by the [[United Outworlders Corporation]] in the [[Ramora]] system.<ref name="FR2765:Pp10"/> With the completion of the [[Diamond Garter Fleet Yards]] in [[2725]] the Magistracy of Canopus was able to manufacture ''Pintos'' as well, allowing the Magistracy to expand its WarShip fleet between 2725 and 2765 from a single ''[[Concordat]]''-class frigate and a single ''[[Athena (WarShip class)|Athena]]''-class cruiser to a fleet twice the size of its Reunification War strength.<ref name="FR2765:Pp4"/>

The ''Pinto''-class were believed to have been completely destroyed by the [[SLDF]] during the [[Amaris Civil War]]. Further, both shipyards capable of producing the design were also destroyed. However, rumors had persisted for centuries that there are derelict ''Pintos'' to be found in the [[Deep Periphery]].<ref name=TRO3057R190/> During the [[Jihad]], the [[Word of Blake]] salvaged several survivors of the class. These ships were seen fighting across the Inner Sphere and the last of them fell fighting to hold [[Terra]] in [[3078]].<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128: "Original Word Of Blake Fleet"</ref>

The ''Pinto'' boasted heavier armor and faster acceleration than the ''[[Vincent]]''-class favored by the [[Star League]]. The armament of the ''Pinto'' was mixed, allowing the vessel to engage both capital vessels and smaller aerospace craft. However, the expense of these capabilities was the relatively poor armor.
