USS Masao

The USS Masao was a Federation starship in service in Starfleet in the 22nd and 23rd centuries.

The Masao entered service after 2143 and was retired some time prior to 2196.

In 2264, the Masao, along with the USS Lovell and the USS Zander, was retrieved from the Qualor II surplus depot and recommissioned for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. These Daedalus-class ships were specifically requested by Captain Robert Andreassi, the Corps of Engineers commander. They were then refitted, by the Corps, with many of the latest advances in command, propulsion and tactical systems.
