The IKS K'tanco was a cruiser in the Klingon Defense Force fleet in the late 23rd century. As of 2291, it was commanded by Captain Kang, with his wife Mara serving as first officer.
In 2291, the K'tanco saved a Klingon base from an attack by two Romulan warbirds. Shortly thereafter, the K'Tanco responded to a distress signal from Klaa's ship, which had been disabled by the Torye's subspace-disruption weapon. Upon arriving, the K'tanco encountered General Navok's ship, and inadvertantly discovered two Federation representatives, Spock and Harry Morrow, aboard. Upon learning the Torye's plan to capture a prototype Klingon mobile battle base, the K'tanco set off in pursuit, along with the USS Enterprise-A, which had been pursuing the Torye. Together, both ships stopped the Torye and destroyed the base. (TOS eBook: Mere Anarchy: The Blood-Dimmed Tide)
- The K'Tanco was mentioned as Kang's command in a cut line from the DS9 episode "The Sword of Kahless". The unnamed K't'inga-class battle cruiser in the VOY episode "Flashback" may have been this same vessel.
