USS Temeraire (NCC-1683)

The 'USS Temeraire (') was a Federation starship, a escort starship in Starfleet service in the 2250s decade. 

Service history
A few weeks following the Battle of the Binary Stars in May 2256, the Temeraire participated in Operation Riposte, an early Starfleet offensive in the Federation-Klingon War of 2256-2257. Coordinated by Lieutenant Commander and the USS Buran (NCC-1422), the Temeraire tractored Klingon House Mo'Kai  troop transports captured by the fleet after retaking Priors World.

By the 2370s, the explorer USS Temeraire (NCC-65387) had succeeded the Hoover-class vessel in name.
