I can't give you an episode, but I remember a someone saying that
the Romulans and Klingons had a trading pack or technology exchange
or something like that, which was the reason the ships were simular.
I think the episode may be the one when the Romulans are first
introduced, but I am not sure.  I am sure the series told of the
conection between the two.
