Cousteau (I)

The Cousteau was a captain's yacht assigned to the Sovereign-class, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) in 2372.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard rarely used the Cousteau, yet in 2375, Picard and his senior staff used the yacht to transport supplies to the surface to help fight the forced relocation of the Ba'ku from the Ba'ku planet against the Son'a and Starfleet Command. Although the attempt was successful, the Cousteau was severely damaged by a Son'a attack on the Cousteau, and it was later scrapped. (TNG movie: Star Trek: Insurrection and novel: A Time to Be Born).
