The USS Jefferies (NCC-1750) was a Federation Starfleet shuttlecraft in service during the mid-to-late 23rd century.
Service history[]
At some point prior to stardate 2821.5 of the year 2267, the Jefferies was stationed on or near planet Earth, and made a landing at the Presidio in San Francisco. Also in attendance was the USS Enterprise's Class F shuttlecraft Galileo, and three other small craft. (ST calendar: Ships of the Line 2017)

Matt Jefferies' design sketches.
The Jefferies was rendered by artist David Morton for the 2017 edition of the Ships of the Line calendars series.
Star Trek: The Original Series art director and production designer, Matt Jefferies, originally designed this teardrop-shaped shuttle for the TOS episode: "The Galileo Seven" but, due to the curved hull being expensive to reproduce, the now familiar flat-sided F-class shuttlecraft was constructed instead. (ST reference: The Art of Star Trek; Star Trek: The Magazine Issue 12: "Designing the Galileo Shuttlecraft")
- The Jefferies's hull pennants indicate that it is independantly registered (like the Danube-class runabouts of the 24th century) as, unlike auxilliary craft of starships, space stations or other installations, it doesn't have any supplemental numbering/lettering.
