USS Hoover

The USS Hoover was a Federation starship, a prototype vessel in Starfleet service in the 2250s decade. 

Service history
During the Federation-Klingon War of 2256, the USS Hoover, USS Gagarin (NCC-1309) and USS Muroc patrolled the same sector. After Kol, leader of the House of Kor, disseminated cloaking technology among Great Houses allied with him, the Klingons ambushed all three ships in this sector simultaneously in November 2256. The loss of all the three Federation starships patrolling the sector resulted in 462 Starfleet casualties.
