USS Bozeman (NCC-1941-A)

The USS Bozeman (NCC-1941-A) (also referred to as the USS Bozeman II) was a Federation destroyer starship in the late 24th century, entering Starfleet service in 2372. Originally designated USS Roderick, the Bozeman was so renamed in honor of Captain Morgan Bateson and the crew of the recently decommissioned original USS Bozeman (NCC-1941), a temporally displaced 23rd century vessel. In turn, both vessels were originally named for Bozeman, Montana on Earth, the site of first contact between Humans and Vulcans. The Bozeman II underwent a trial of fire soon after entering service when, under Bateson's command, she was one of a number of vessels that faced the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373.
