USS Kearsarge (NCC-57566)

The USS Kearsarge (NCC-57566) was a starship in service to Starfleet in the 24th century.

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) rendezvoused with the Kearsarge in 2370, shortly after the Kot'baval festival on Maranga IV. 

In 2381, the Kearsarge was part of the defensive fleet assigned to defend planet Vulcan during the Borg Invasion of that year. During their engagement, the first officer was killed and the commanding officer, Captain Tando, suffered a mental breakdown, requiring the second officer, Lieutenant Commander Kara na Miin, to assume command.

The ship survived, and later made port at Starbase 22.
