While exploring the planet, a [[dikironium cloud creature]] was discovered, which was later responsible for the deaths of 200 crewmen of the ''Farragut'', including Captain Garrovick.

Nearly 10 hours of tape documented the account, which a young Lieutenant Kirk partook in documenting. According to the tapes, Kirk insisted upon blaming himself because of his delay in firing at the creature. The ship's [[executive officer]] disagreed, stating, "Lieutenant Kirk is a fine young officer who performed with uncommon bravery".
 
   
[[2268|Over a decade later]], it would be determined that Kirk could not have prevented the death of his captain, when the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|USS ''Enterprise'']] encounters the same creature and discovers that [[phaser]]s were ineffective against it. ([[TOS]]: "[[Obsession]]")

===Background===
 
This [[registry]] was derived from backstage sources from the [[TNG]] art department and the ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]''. No official registry was established during the [[TOS]]-era when this ship was mentioned, nor was a class even mentioned. Many official publications, beginning with ''[[The Making of Star Trek]]'' and [[Franz Joseph]]'s ''[[Star Fleet Technical Manual]]'', list ''Farragut'' as a [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] [[heavy cruiser]] with the registry NCC-1702, although this was never specified, and the vessel was not seen. Many acknowledge the fact, however, that the ''only'' vessels that were called "starships" in the TOS-era were the ''Constitution''s.''
 
 
Two [[DC]] [[comic book]]s (see: [[Star Trek (DC)]]) provide non-[[canon]] appearances of the ''Farragut''. One shows the ''Farragut'' as a "[[TOS]]-style" [[Miranda class|''Miranda''-class]] vessel, matching the studio-used registry NCC-1647, while the comic "[[Debt of Honor]]" shows the ship as a [[Constitution class|''Consitution''-class]] (matching the studio description) with the registry NCC-1702 (matching the ''[[Star Fleet Technical Manual]]''). The former ship choice seems fitting since another ''Farragut'' that were shown on screen was a [[Nebula class]], which was a descendant of the ''Miranda''-class.
 
 
==USS ''Farragut'' (NCC-60597)==
 
[[Image:Uss farragut ST7.jpg|thumb|'''USS ''Farragut'' (NCC-60597)''']]
 
The '''USS ''Farragut'' (NCC-60597)''' was a [[Nebula class|''Nebula''-class]] [[Federation]] [[starship]] in operation during the late [[24th century]].
 
 
In [[2371]], the ''Farragut'' helped recover the crew of [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS ''Enterprise''-D]] from [[Veridian III]], following the forced crash-landing of its [[saucer section]]. (''[[Star Trek: Generations]]'')
 
 
[[2373|Two years later]], during the [[Second Federation-Klingon War]], the ''Farragut'' was sent to assist the [[colony|colonists]] of [[Ajilon Prime]] after it came under attack by the [[Klingon]]s. En route, the ship itself came under attack by the Klingons and was destroyed near the [[Lembatta Cluster]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[...Nor the Battle to the Strong]]")
 
 
''Several publications, including the [[Star Trek Encyclopedia]], have mistakenly stated that the registry of the ''Farragut'' was NCC-60591.''

<br clear=all>
 
 
===Background===
 
Although the ''Excelsior''-class ship seen in "Chrysalis" was not specifically mentioned to be the ''Farragut'', it assumed to be, since the only other ships seen in that episode were the [[USS Nash|USS ''Nash'']], the [[USS Defiant (NX-74205)|USS ''Defiant'' (NX-74205)]], and the [[USS Yeager|USS ''Yeager'' (NCC-65674)]]. In addition, the [[Star Trek Encyclopedia]] (a Memory Alpha permitted [[resource]]) stated that the ''Excelsior''-class ship was the ''Farragut''. In this case, the ''Farragut'' was most likely a retired early [[24th century]] starship, recommissioned for the [[Dominion War]] as a replacement for the destroyed ''Nebula''-class ''Farragut'', rather than a brand new ship.
 
 
The starships ''Farragut'' are likely named for [[Admiral]] David Farragut, a [[19th Century]] sailor and commander-in-chief of the [[United States armed forces|U.S. Navy]] during the [[American Civil War]]. Farragut is perhaps best known for giving the order "''Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!''".

==Apocrypha==
 
In the [[What You Leave Behind (novel)|novelization]] of "[[What You Leave Behind]]", Admiral [[William Ross]] uses a starship called the ''Farragut'' during the [[Battle of Cardassia]]. As it seems unlikely that an officer as important as Ross would use an ''Excelsior'' class ship, it is possible that the ''Excelsior'' class ''Farragut'' had been destroyed earlier in the year, and another ship commissioned with the name, possibly a [[Galaxy class]] starship.
