The Cunningham outside Probert Station in 2401.
In the days leading up to Frontier Day, celebrating 250 years of Starfleet's deep space exploration started with Enterprise's launch in 2151, the Cunningham was one of several ships outside of Probert Station in Earth's orbit in 2401. The Cunningham passed by the station when retired Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and Captain William T. Riker took Travel Pod 05 to the spacedock.
Soon after, the Cunningham was passed by the USS Titan-A when that Constitution III-class starship exited the spacedock. (PIC episode: "The Next Generation")
