The USS John Paul Jones (NCC-61001) was a Mission-class starship in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update)

History[]

The John Paul Jones was the most famous Mission-class transport, as it disappeared without a trace while ferrying gemstones, leading to all sorts of myths about its fate. (FASA RPG module: Trader Captains and Merchant Princes)

The John Paul Jones was lost or decommissioned sometime prior to the year 2296. That year, Commander Nyota Uhura of the USS Intrepid II instructed Lieutenant Duchamps to hail the then non-existent ship by name, on a frequency that would be overheard by a nearby cloaked Romulan Warbird. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Forge)

This is one of a number of ships to be so named, succeeding the earlier Larson-class USS Jones and followed by another Ambassador Hardin-class USS Jones by the 2360s decade. (FASA RPG modules: Federation Ship Recognition Manual, Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)
