USS Yorktown (NCC-2033)

The USS Yorktown (NCC-2033) was an Excelsior-class vessel constructed around the turn of the 24th century. (FASA RPG: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)

William Riker served as second officer on Yorktown for almost three years. (Novels: "Reunion", "Encounter at Farpoint (novel)", "Ghost Ship")

Originally designed as a long-range star-mapping vessel, the Yorktown's hull was lined with extra sensor nodes.

By 2375, the Yorktown was under the command of Captain Alec Mitchel and was a member of the seventh fleet. It served with distiction during the Dominion War, where it was used mainly as a long-range sensor ship and scanning dampener.

The Yorktown was partnered with the USS Challenger briefly for an ill-fated mission behind enemy lines in early 2375. Though heavily damaged, the ship was able to escape. (novel: "Transcendence")

Shortly after, a Sovereign-class USS Yorktown was constructed. (RPG Star Trek: Roleplaying Game)


 * It is unclear when the new Yorktown was built, but due to it's age, it was likely the earlier Yorktown was de-commisioned shortly after it's mission with the USS Challenger in 2375. Due to it's excellent war-record, the name may have been rushed back into service
