USS Hornet (NCC-1714)

The Hornet was a heavy cruiser under the command of Capt Leedson. In 2270, the Hornet was sent to meet with the USS Pompeii and the USS Enterprise to retake the stolen USS Star Empire. The Hornet was the second flagship with Capt Leedson becoming Commodore. The Hornet was damaged in the battle, especially when the Enterprise switched sides. The Hornet surrendered after the Pompeii was destroyed. (TOS novel: Dreadnought!).
