Yes, they are. All four start out as the then-current UF mode of Miranda, the same type as the USS Reliant. Their CFMF refit raised their sublight acceleration drastically and reduced their sensor suites in exchange for adding an additional pair of ventral-mount heavy phasers.

CFMF Descartes mounts, if memory serves, six heavy phaser arrays, four photon torpedo launchers, and seven quad blaster turrets for anti-starfighter defense. Although it has no major gunnery blind spots, the rollbar area (esp. the torpedo turret in the center) and the sides of the warp nacelles are only weakly covered.

(I'm only mildly interested in actual ST technobabble, in such cases, but I do play Starfleet Command a bit.)
