USS Salk (NCC-761)

The USS Salk (NCC-761) was a Federation hospital ship in service in the 23rd century.

In 2270, the Salk was called to Starbase 14 by the USS Enterprise following an attack by the Metans on the station, which led to the deaths of 5,000 personnel. Over 70 children were rescued by the Enterprise and were treated and transported back to Earth by the Salk. (TOS comic: The Chosen, Part 2: "Blood Enemies").
