The USS Salk (NCC-10001) was a 23rd century Federation starship, a rescue/hospital ship. This vessel entered Starfleet service on reference stardate 2/8112, and remained in active service until at least the 2360s decade. 

This hospital ship was after a previous hospital vessel, the 23rd century USS Salk (NCC-761). The name continued in the 2370s with a later vessel, the USS Salk (Nebula class).
