USS Lexington (NCC-1709)

The USS Lexington (NCC-1703) was one of the original twelve Constitution-class starships constructed in the 2240s, and went on to serve Starfleet well until the 2300s.

Construction History
Construction began on the USS Lexington at the Puget Sounds Yards, Earth, on September 13th 2245, just over two months after its sister-ship, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was launched on shakedown cruises. Construction was completed in August 2247, and the Lexington began a number of shakedown cruises, under the command of Captain Garth, before being commissioned and beginning its first five-year mission in February 2248, again under Garth's command.
