compiled by Kasey K.S. Chang
Part F of THE ULTIMATE STAR TREK REFERENCE
now includes information from _Star Trek Chronology_!
Updated: 4/13/93
WHY SUCH A LIST?
Originally this started out as a sort of "encyclopedia" project,
a compiled list of the ships that appeared in Star Trek. However, the
original entries are for series only, while I wished to present every
scrap of information possible. At the end, I settled for listing the
ships that appeared onscreen (except TAS, I guess), plus additional
information about them from other sources.
I have chosen not to include information about ships which have
not appeared onscreen. Such ships includes the ASCENSION-class
dreadnaughts (TOS?), STAR EMPIRE-class dreadnaughts (TOS), OLYMPUS-
class dreadnaughts (TNG), and various other classes that have appeared
in some reference manuals but never in the show.
This list should be accurate up to and including the fifth
season, and some of the sixth season. For a more up-to-date yet less
detailed list, see D. Joseph Creighton's "Star Trek Ships" list. Of
course, he and I don't totally agree on classification of all ships.
DISCLAIMER
All entries are based on the best evidence available. As new
information becomes available the article will be updated.
I have no involvement with Paramount Studios or the TNG office,
nor do I have special access to information not available to the
public. All sources are documented as shown.
I do not claim to have included every ship mentioned in the
screened Star Trek universe. If you believe I missed some "major"
ships, please write me at address/means below. If I made a mistake,
let me know. No one is perfect, and I do make mistakes. Thanks for
Wmwn92a@aol.com for pointing out a mistake. Somehow I mixed up Klaa's
(ST5) and Chang's (ST6) Birds of Prey! Also thanks to Kevin Casto
(pk115053@wvnvms.wvnet.edu) for providing the information from the 5th
Season Writer's Guide for IDing some "lost" ship with no corresponding
ship class. I cannot presume that the entire article is correct, but
they are to the best of my ability.

AMBASSADOR-class
(TNG Tech Manual) The prototype ship USS AMBASSADOR, NX-10521, was
the first ship to utilize a subspace-enhanced impulse drive. It
massed approximately 3.7 million metric tons.
(TNG Tech Journal) It is also the first ship to have independent
flight-capable saucer and stardrive sections.
The third incarnation of ENTERPRISE, NCC-1701-C is of this class.

CONSTELLATION-class
CONSTELLATION-class cruisers are built as replacements of the
venerable CONSTITUTION-class starships. It features an unique
quadruple nacelle design, no secondary hull, and "thick" primary hull.
(Speculation) CONSTELLATION-class were designed to be explorers.
The redundant nacelles allow the ship to achieve high warp factors.
When one or more nacelles fail, emergency control programs could
conceivably allow the ship to proceed at low warp to a repair facility
with less than four nacelles working.
CONSTELLATION, USS (NCC-???)
Class ship, never shown.

HATHAWAY, USS (NCC-2593)
(TNG:"Peak Performance") CONSTELLATION-class cruiser. Built at
Copernicus Ship Yards, Luna by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems. Abandoned
at unknown time, but later retrieved for tactical combat simulation.
Motto: "No matter where you go, there you are."
STARGAZER, USS (NCC-2893)
(TNGN:Reunion) CONSTELLATION-class cruiser.
(Misc Background) Commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the ship
went on to a legendary 22-year mission unmatched by any other
starship. One of Picard's best friends, Jack Crusher, husband to
Beverly Crusher and father to Wesley Crusher, was lost during Picard's
command. Picard had returned Jack's body (or what's left of it) to
the grieving Beverly Crusher and Wesley Crusher.
(TNG:The Battle) Lost in the Maxia Zeta system after engaging an
unknown ship which fired first. STARGAZER was heavily damaged and had
to be abandoned, but most crew escaped in shuttles. The unknown ship
was later found to be a Ferengi Marauder, its first sighting ever.
The manuever Captain Picard used to defeat the hostile became known as
the "Picard Manuever".
(TNGN:Reunion) Crew includes Idun Asmund (Helm), Gerda Asmund
(Navigation), Peter "Pug" Joseph (Security), Carter Greyhorse (Chief
Medical Officer), Phigus Simenon (Chief Engineer), Gilaad Ben Zoma
(First Officer), Tricia Cadwallader (Communications), Vigo (Weapons),
Ensign Morgen, and Jack Crusher (Science?).
VICTORY, USS (NCC-9754)
(TNG:"Elementary, Dear Data", TNG:"Identity Crisis") CONSTELLATION-
class cruiser, commanded by Captain Zimbata. LaForge had previously
served on this vessel and visited Tarchannen while onboard.
Last recorded mission "Stellar Nuclei Population Survey".
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CONSTITUTION-class
(TOSN: Final Frontier) CONSTITUTION-class starships are the
result of the "Starship" project, featuring the first (Federation)
dilithium-augmented warp drive on a starship (sometimes known as
"fourth generation" warp drive), and crew of 220, later increased to
450. First built in 2245, USS CONSTITUTION received the hull number
of NCC-1700, but before its completion, major modifications prompted
renaming it to USS ENTERPRISE, and the registry number became NCC-
1701. It is classified as a heavy cruiser.
(Conjecture) It is possible that the project came from a refit of
an older class of vessels. USS CONSTELLATION appeared to be of the
CONSTITUTION-class yet have a registry number of NCC-1017, much
earlier. USS REPUBLIC, also of this class, have registry number of
NCC-1371, both below that of the NCC-1700/1701. REPUBLIC contains
"atomic pile", indicated that it contains much older components.
(Making of Star Trek) The ship is designed to have an 18-year
range, carries crew of appox. 450.
(ST:TMP) In year 2269, StarFleet decided to rebuild the then
mothballed ENTERPRISE, which had returned from its historic fourth
Five-Year-Mission, a feat no other starship has accomplished. The
Page - 5
Ships of Star Trek Kasey K.S. Chang
original plans to scrap the ship after its return was scrubbed. Chief
Engineer Scott supervised the refit, with overseeing by Admiral Kirk,
now Chief of StarFleet Operations. The result is a brand-new ship
with different design than the previous model. Official designation
remains CONSTITUTION-class. The ship entered service in 2271.
The "refit" (more like rebuild) was applied to other older
CONSTITUTION-class vessels. USS ENDEAVOR was next in line.
(TNGN:Reunion) CONSTITUTION-class starships are still in service
during the 24th century (TNG). One of them is USS LEXINGTON.
(TNGN:Captain's Honor) Another would be USS CENTURION.
CENTURION, USS (?)
CONSTITUTION-class starship
(TNGN:Captain's Honor) The ship is fully crewed by Magna Romans.
The ship turned renegade when its captain violated the prime directive
and was discovered by NCC-1701-D. They have not reappeared since.
CONSTELLATION, USS (NCC-1017)
CONSTITUTION-class starship (refitted?)
(TOS:"The Doomsday Machine") Commanded by Commodore Matthew Decker,
entire crew except Decker perished when the planet they evacuated to
was destroyed by the Doomsday Machine. Decker (supposedly) piloted
the crippled CONSTELLATION into the Doomsday Machine and activated
self-destruct, destroying it and himself.
DEFIANT, USS (NCC-???)
CONSTITUTION-class starship.
(TOS:"The Tholian Web") Ship lost in interdimentional rift, crew all
dead from exposure to the "interphase" near Tholian border.
ENTERPRISE, USS (NCC-1701)

2285 NCC-1701 self-destructed over Genesis planet, after being
disabled by Kruge's Bird of Prey. (ST3:TSFS)
ENTERPRISE, USS (NCC-1701-A)
(TNG Tech Manual) Second generation CONSTITUTION-class starship,
renamed from USS YORKTOWN, commissioned in 2286.
(ST4:TVH) Ship was given to the original ENTERPRISE crew after they
saved Earth from the effects of a giant alien probe which demanded
contact with humpback whales, long extinct on Earth.
(ST5:TFF) Ship was hijacked by Vulcan renegade Sybok, Spock's half-
brother, in his search of God and Paradise. They travelled to the
Galactic Center, and ended up being chased by Klingons, battled a god,
and accomplished narrow escapes. (c2286/87)
(ST6:TUC) Ship was ordered to escort the Klingon Chancellor Gorkon
and his party to a negotiation with Federation representatives. During
the voyage, ENTERPRISE supposedly fired a torpedo at the Chancellor's
ship, forcing Kirk to surrender to his worst enemies. However, the
Khitomer Conference turned out to be a success after the saboteur was
discovered. The conference had a profound impact on the political
climate of this part of the galaxy for the years to come. The ship was
heavily damaged while engaging Chang's Bird of Prey OKRONA, and was
ordered to be decommissioned by StarFleet.(c2293)
The ship was decommissioned in 2294, soon after the Khitomer
Conference. Montgomery Scott retired in disgust.

Contacted Iotia, and accidentally contaminated Iotian culture with
the book about Chicagoan gangsters of 1920's. Later lost, cause
unknown. Identified by STChron as DAEDALUS-class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCELSIOR-class
(TNG Tech Manual) The EXCELSIOR-class were originally designed as an
experiment to test the concept of Transwarp, which proved to be an
abysmal failure during early 2280's.
Despite the failure of transwarp, the design was proven worthy, and
was manufactured in large numbers, after the transwarp system was
replaced with normal warp drive. The ship was originally classified
as a battleship.
The class served distinguished careers in several incarnations. USS
EXCELSIOR, commanded by Captain Sulu, went on to establish a brilliant
record. The third reincarnation of USS ENTERPRISE, NCC-1701-B also
took the form of an EXCELSIOR-class vessel.
EXCELSIOR-class vessels are still in wide use during the time of
NCC-1701-D (a.k.a. The Next Generation).
AKAGI, USS
(TNG:"Redemption II"), EXCELSIOR-class, member of the blockade
fleet.

commanded by Edward Jericho.
CHARLESTON, USS (NCC-42285)
(TNG:"The Neutral Zone") EXCELSIOR-class vessel
ENTERPRISE, USS (NCC-1701-B)
(TNG Tech Manual) EXCELSIOR-class starship, built at StarFleet
Antares Yards. Putting the namesake on a class of ship which failed
was not a popular decision, but it went through nonetheless, and she
went on to establish a brilliant record for itself. This ship was a
key figure in the exploration of space beyond the Gourami Sector. The
ship and crew were responsible for mapping over 142 star systems,
including first contact with seventeen civilizations.
EXCELSIOR, USS (NX-2000/NCC-2000)
(ST3:TSFS) EXCELSIOR-class experimental vessel, class vessel. Kirk
called it "The Great Experiment". Commanded by Captain Styles, it
attempted to overtake the "hijacked" ENTERPRISE during the Second
Genesis Incident. The chase failed due to some modifications done to
the Transwarp computer by its Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott.

make them miniature starships (confirmed by the NCC number). Deep
Space Nine have several of them. They have optional modules that can
be attached in the rear of the craft, including a photon torpedo
module. Interestingly, so far all of them are named after rivers.

APPENDIX: SOME PUZZLES AND POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS
There so far are two naming mistakes in TNG/DS9. In TNG:"BoBW1"
MELBOURNE was identified as a NEBULA-class starship when it was
offered to Riker to command. However, in DS9:"Emmissary"
Novelization, the EXCELSIOR-class that died without firing a single
shot was identified as MELBOURNE. There is NO indication in the
televised version which ship is which. Only four names were
mentioned, and four ships shown. I chose to ignore the novelization
and used available evidence to match up the names to the ships.
Of the ships on screen, SARATOGA is MIRANDA-class. Of which
remained, one is EXCELSIOR-class, one AMBASSADOR-class, and one
NEBULA-class. The names mentioned are MELBOURNE, GAGE, and KYUSHU.
The NEBULA-class ship therefore must be the MELBOURNE. I've
heard that KYUSHU, which was IDed as NEW ORLEANS-class, actually looks
like a MIRANDA-class (minor differences), which leaves the GAGE to be
an EXCELSIOR-class or the AMBASSADOR-class. I picked the latter. [A
quick search through the dictionary showed Thomas Gage to be a famous
British general in the American Revolutionary War, which still doesn't
help, as Starfleet don't name ships according to class at all...]
The second naming mistake was probably a result of bad detail
research. A first season Okudagram (TNG:"The Neutral Zone"), which
listed the ships near the Neutral Zone, listed USS TRIESTE as a
YOSEMITE-class. However, in TNG:Realm of Fear, we actually saw USS
YOSEMITE, and it appears to be an OBERTH-class...

GALAXY-class
(TNG Tech Manual) Galaxy-class began its life on paper in July of
2343, when the official start for the project is approved by
StarFleet. Six Galaxy-class starships are planned, with six more as
an option. So far only four ships have been completed: GALAXY,
YAMATO, and ENTERPRISE, and one unknown.
(Estimation) There should be a fourth ship appearing in 2366/67, but
it was never seen. Rumors had that it was destroyed at the Wolf 359
Massacre. Since YAMATO was destroyed in 2366, that leaves only two
active GALAXY-class vessels in service as of year 2368. A new Galaxy-
class starship should appear in 2369.
ENTERPRISE, USS (NCC-1701-D)
(TNG Tech Manual) GALAXY-class starship, built at Utopia Planitia
Fleet Yards above Mars. Commissioned on October 3rd, 2363, currently
under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
GALAXY, USS (NX-76037) (NCC-76037?)
(TNG Tech Manual) The class-ship of the GALAXY-class, there are
little information avialable on it, except it was launched in 2357.
YAMATO, USS (NCC-71807) (NCC-1305-E)
(TNG Tech Manual) The second of the GALAXY-class.
(TNG:"Contagion") Commanded by Captain Donald Verley. Ship was
destroyed in a matter/antimatter explosion caused by an alien computer
virus. The emergency shutdown was aborted by the virus, destroying
the ship.
(TNG:"Where Silence Has Lease") Made a ghost appearance as Worf and
Riker transported over to the fake bridge.
(Estimate) It was probably launched in 2360.

MEDITERRANEAN-class
LALO, USS
(TNG:"We'll Always Have Paris) (TNG:"Best of Both Worlds II")
MEDITERRANEAN-class freighter, presumed destroyed by the Borg after
contact with it was lost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
MIRANDA-Class
There are actually two generations of MIRANDA-class. The original
MIRANDA-class is a light cruiser. Two of them were seen, USS RELIANT
(ST2:TWOK) and USS SARATOGA (ST4:TVH). This model featured photon
torpedo launcher on an arch (anti-roll bar?) above the primary hull.
Overall, it resembled the venerable tug, with engines beneath the
saucer and no secondary hull.
There were speculations that the arch was a later refit. No comment
was available from StarFleet Ship Design Bureau. Some sources
indicate that the class was once known as AVENGER-class, but that was
found to be incorrect.
Modified MIRANDA-class were seen in TNG. They are USS BRATTAIN
(TNG:Night Terrors) and USS LANTREE (TNG:Unnatural Selection). They
are virtually identical to the original MIRANDA-class vessels except
they lack the arched photon torpedo launcher over the primary hull.
The crew is also much smaller.
(Speculation) after introduction of the sentient main computer such
as the model installed on the ENTERPRISE-D, the crew was greatly
reduced since the ship can almost take care of herself. Since the
NEBULA-class replaced the MIRANDA-class as the light cruiser of the
fleet, the remaining MIRANDA-class vessels were converted into
scientific research vessels for quiet area patrols, explorations, and
surveys of frontier areas.
(NOTE: overall MIRANDA-class definition came from TNG Technical
Manual. Sources from FASA claims RELIANT-Class "light cruiser" for
USS RELIANT. TNG Ship dedication plaques list MIRANDA-Class for USS
BRATTAIN only. Other sources lists RELIANT as AVENGER-class
"frigate".)
BRATTAIN, USS (NCC-21166)
(Ship plaque) MIRANDA-class, built at 40 Eridani-A StarFleet
Construction Yards by Yoyodyne Division. Commissioned SD 22519.5.
(TNG:"Night Terrors") Crew perished on SD 44631.2 after caught in a
Tyken's Rift, where the lack of REM sleep (caused by a trapped alien
ship) caused widespread hallucination. The crew committed suicide or
murdered each other. The only survivor was a Betazoid male.
LANTREE, USS
(TNG Tech Manual) MIRANDA-Class vessel, class 6 resupplier.
(TNG:"Unnatural Selection") Commanded by Captain Iso Telaka, crew of
26 perished after visiting the Darwin genetic research colony on
Gagarin IV, attacked by the new "active" immune system. The untested
immune system changed genes of the cells in contacted, causing rapid
aging and death due to old age. The ship was cordoned off and later
destroyed to prevent others from falling to the same fate.
Page - 12
Ships of Star Trek Kasey K.S. Chang
RELIANT, USS (NCC-2684)
MIRANDA-class light cruiser.
(ST2:TWOK) Commanded by Captain Clark Terrell, the ship was
temporarily assigned to the Genesis Project team in an effort to
locate a suitable system to began phase III of the Genesis experiment.
During the search, it came upon Ceti Alpha V, where the ship was taken
over by Khan Noonian Singh. Khan vowed revenge on Kirk (see
TOS:"Space Seed") and attempted to destroy Kirk and the ENTERPRISE,
but failed, destroying the ship in the process in the final detonation
of the Genesis device in the Mutara Nebula, which became the Genesis
Planet.
SARATOGA, USS
MIRANDA-class cruiser, registry unknown.
(ST4:TVH) While on patrol, the ship was disabled by a giant alien
probe which drained all its power. Its hailing messages went
unanswered. Captain ??? ordered crew into stasis and was later
recovered without incident.
SARATOGA, USS
MIRANDA-class cruiser, registry unknown
(DS9:"The Emissary") This ship, on which Ben Sisko served as first
officer, was destroyed while engaging the Borg at Wolf 359.
(Analysis) Some speculated that this may be the same ship as the one
in ST4:TVH, it is doubtful that the ship's framework will survive for
80 years to be refitted and still serving on the front lines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NEBULA-class
(Misc Info) First seen in TNG:"The Wounded", this appears to be an
analogue to the GALAXY-Class like the MIRANDA-class RELIANT to the
CONSTITUTION-class ENTERPRISE. The warp nacelles are just beneath the
saucer, small secondary hull, and a large photon torpedo launcher is
mounted over the saucer.
At least one NEBULA-class ship is also seen in REDEMPTION II,
commanded by Lt.Cmdr Data: USS SUTHERLAND.
MELBOURNE, USS
NEBULA-class, registry unknown.
(TNG:"Best of Both Worlds") Riker turned down its command, and the
ship was destroyed at Wolf 359 by the Borg.

NEBULA, USS (???)
Class ship, never shown.
PHOENIX, USS (NCC-65420)
NEBULA-class. Seen once in "Future Imperfect".
(TNG: The Wounded) Captain Benjamin Maxwell of the USS PHOENIX,
formerly of the RUTLEDGE, declared personal war on the Cardassians,
destroying several Cardassian vessels before ENTERPRISE caught up with
him and convinced him to surrender. Evidence of Cardassians rearming
for conflict was found, but peace was kept.
SUTHERLAND, USS
NEBULA-class, registry NCC-72015.
(TNG: Redemption II) Commander Data took command of USS SUTHERLAND,
a new and untested ship, as a part of the Klingon border blockade
fleet under command of Captain Picard. His exceptional leadership and
innovative tactics exposed the Romulan supply convoy, causing the
convoy to turn back, leaving the Duras-faction without supplies, and
turning the Klingon civil war to Gowron's favor.

OBERTH-class
OBERTH-class vessels are scientific scouts that does the scientific
research after the explorers charted the worlds. They also do
scientific surveys of phenomenons that does not require a major ship.
While no specific number of the crew was given, it is estimated to
be around 50-150. It has minimal armament and defense. It is
outfitted with inboard warp engines, no exterior nacelles. It also has

Ships of Star Trek Kasey K.S. Chang
BIKO, USS
(TNG:"A Fistful of Datas") supply ship?
GRISSOM, USS (NCC-636?)
(Conjecture) OBERTH-class scout/research vessel.
(ST3:TSFS) Commanded by Captain J.T. Esteban, to study Genesis
planet after creation in the first Genesis Incident. It was destroyed
by Kruge's Bird of Prey due to weapon officer's ineptitude. Sole
survivor was lieutenant Saavik, who was on the planet.
[Note: TRIESTE was identified by an Okudagram to be YOSEMITE-class,
but in TNG:"Realm of Fear" USS YOSEMITE is an OBERTH-class.]

(Ship Dedication plaque) OBERTH-class scout/research vessel,
StarFleet registry number NCC-53911, built at Baikonur Cosmodrome,
Russian Commonwealth, Terra, Commissioned Stardate 40291.7.
(TNG:The Naked Now) Lost at ????? System, while studying a star soon
to go nova. The crew, infected by an inhibition shedding virus,
killed each other. ENTERPRISE was investigating when it too came
under the influence. Only some quick thinking allowed them to escape,
sacrificing the lifeless TSIOLKOVSKY for precious seconds to engage
the warp drive.
VICO, USS (NAR-18834)

VALIANT, USS
(TOS:"A Taste of Armageddon") Lost near the Vendikar system.
It is NOT a DAEDALUS-class, since this ship was about in 2217, while
DAEDALUS-class were all decomissioned by 2196. Suspect this is a
predecessor of CONSTITUTION-class (DECLARATION-class?) of which the
survivors, CONSTELLATION and/or REPUBLIC, were refitted into
CONSTITUTION-class starships.
