Changes: Kearsarge

Revision as of 19:56, 4 July 2015

The USS Kearsarge was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2370, this ship was forced to delay a rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Firstborn")

The Star Trek Encyclopedia states that this vessel was a Challenger-class starship, with a registry of NCC-57566. Additionally, according to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, this ship was named for the American aircraft carrier that served as the recovery vessel for Alan Shepard's Freedom Seven Mercury spacecraft. ^{(citation needed • edit)}

The name was suggested by Star Trek fan and amateur Civil War historian William F.B. Vodrey, after whom the screenwriters named the Vodrey Nebula which appeared in the same episode. ^{(citation needed • edit)}

The name was derived from a mountain in New Hampshire, and various United States ships have been named USS Kearsarge, including a steam sloop-of-war during the American Civil War, and the current Kearsarge, amphibious assault ship LHD-3.
