USS Drake (NCC-20381)

The USS Drake (NCC-20381) was a Wambundu-class starship in service in the 24th century.

In 2364, Commander William T. Riker was offered command of the Drake, but he turned the offer down, instead favoring his assignment aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Instead of Riker, command was assigned to Captain Paul Rice.

A few months later, the Drake entered orbit of the planet Minos on a survey mission, and was subsequently destroyed by the automated weapons system known as the Echo Papa 607. (TNG episode: "The Arsenal of Freedom").
