USS Hood (NCC-1703) (II)

The USS Hood (NCC-1703 II) was a Federation ( mark I) class XI cruiser starship in Starfleet service in the mid-23rd century. Hood was commissioned and launched on reference stardate 2/1704, as a replacement for the original USS Hood (NCC-1703). 

In the 2290s, the Hood was under the command of Captain Lustig. 

In its later years of service, the Hood was refurbished to the mark IV evolution of the Enterprise-subclass design. The Hood was recorded as being destroyed on stardate 2/3503, and was succeeded in its name on stardate 2/2312 by a new USS Hood (NCC-2017). 


 * The second Constitution-class Hood was introduced in the Federation Ship Recognition supplement as having the same registry as the preceding vessel, with no explanation given for the duplication. Since the earlier ship was recovered and scrapped in the FASA version of its history, it is possible that they considered this a case where the ship's registry would be naturally passed on, even though other sources that are closer to canon indicate that registry numbers do not often pass on to replacement vessels.
