USS Republic (NCC-1753)

The USS Republic (NCC-1753) (sometimes referred to as the USS Republic II) was a Constitution-class Federation starship active in the late 23rd century.

Service History
The second Constitution-class starship to bear the name was commissioned sometime after 2273 as part of the Enterprise sub-class.

In 2284, the Republic was commanded by Fleet Captain Sufik. That year, the vessel served as the flagship for the Starfleet War College tactical exercise Operation: Tactical Encounters XXVI. (FASA RPG: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update).
 * It is not known if this is the training ship used by 24th century Starfleet cadets, as noted in the DS9 episode "Valiant."
