The USS Valley Forge (NCC-43305) was a Federation Excelsior-class starship that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century. The Valley Forge fought in the Dominion War and, in late 2374, saw action at the First Battle of Chin'toka. It took heavy damage to its saucer section and starboard nacelle during an attack run against Cardassian orbital weapon platforms. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
The Valley Forge's appearance in "Tears of the Prophets" was confirmed by John Gross and Karen Sickles of Digital Muse in a 25 June 1998 post, by DS9 Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes, on the newsgroup alt.tv.star-trek.ds9.
This ship was most likely named after the American Revolution encampment and training ground outside of Philadelphia. It could also have been named after one of the United States Navy's ships of the same name.
