USS DeWitt

The USS DeWitt (NCC-96047) was a Federation starship in Starfleet service in the early 25th century.

In 2409, the DeWitt took the lead a Starfleet task force dispatched to the Alhena system to retake a starbase occupied by the Klingon Defense Force. The KDF obliterated the task force and disabled the DeWitt. A KDF team boarded the battleship, fought the crew until the captain, John Hollingsworth, was subdued. After he was forced to reveal the Sol system defense codes, the boarding party returned to their ship, which then used the DeWitt for target practice. 

A synchronic proton distortion prototype assault rifle, acquired from the DeWitt, went into the possession of the Klingon Imperial Intelligence.
