The USS Hemalat was a Federation starship in Starfleet service in the 23rd century.
In the 2270s, Hemalat was one of over a half-dozen Starfleet vessels, under the command of Commodore Jono Danilov, that intervened in a Romulan conflict that Captain James T. Kirk's USS Enterprise had become involved in, the Battle of Augo. Hemalat, along with al-Burak, Speedwell, Kilimanjaro, Lake Ponchartrain, Lake Onondoga, San Diego, Dauntless and Marathon all departed shortly after the engagement, with the only loss being Danilov's Ortisei.
