The USS Bismark (NCC-1704), or Bismarck, was a Federation Constitution-class (Mk II Bonhomme Richard-subclass) in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century.
Service history[]
The Bismark entered service on reference stardate 1/9901, and was eventually refitted to Mk III (Achernar-subclass) specifications on stardate 2/0510. (TOS reference: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
Circa 2270, the Bismarck was commanded by Captain Tracy Henderson and served as the flagship of Starfleet Task Force 41, a fleet which patrolled Sector Alpha 19, including regions of the Orion Neutral Zone.
On reference stardate 2/1201, the Bismarck fought in Border Incident #45612 against Kolar's Squadron of the Klingon Empire. The starship sustained minor damage during the surprise attack and returned with the fleet to Starbase 12 after the incident. (StarDrive Issue 1: "Tactics of the Imperial Klingon Navy")
She was later refitted to Enterprise-class specifications on stardate 2/1709. (TOS reference: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
