USS Farragut (NCC-2582)

The USS Farragut (NCC-14221) was an Excelsior-class Federation] [[starship that was launched in 2309. (FASA RPG: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual).

The Farragut served Starfleet well throughout the many conflicts of the 24th century, such as the Cardassian War and the Tzenkethi War. Following these conflicts she was retired from service in the late 2350s and was replaced by the Nebula-class vessel, USS Farragut (NCC-60597).

Following the destruction of the Farragut (NCC-60597) in 2373 during the brief Federation-Klingon War in 2373, the Farragut was refitted and reentered service in time for the Dominion War. In 2375, the Farragut brought the genetically-enhanced humans, Patrick, Jack, Lauren, and Sarina Douglas, from Earth to Deep Space 9 to gain treatment for Sarina from Dr. Julian Bashir. (DS9 episode: "Chrysalis").

Later that year, the Farragut served as Admiral William Ross's flagship during the Final Battle and invasion of Cardassia Prime. (DS9 novelization: What You Leave Behind).
