The USS Kongo (NCC-1710) was a Federation Constitution-class class I/class IX heavy cruiser starship in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century.
The Kongo was one of the initial batch of Constitution-class starships which were authorized by Starfleet appropriation on stardate 0965. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)
The Kongo was eventually built to Mk II (Bonhomme Richard-subclass) specifications and entered service on reference stardate 1/9909. She was later refit to Mk III (Achernar-subclass) specifications on stardate 2/0406. (TOS reference: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
At some point during her service history the Kongo was commanded by Commodore Dan Stack. (RPG reference: Starships)
In 2267, the Kongo was docked at Starbase 11. (TOS episode: "Court Martial")
- While the ship wasn't named, the Kongo's registry number was displayed on a chart in Commodore Stone's office.
In 2269, the Kongo successfully observed the primitive civilization on Muldoon IV, located between the twin stars, Loki and Thor. (RPG reference: Starships)
In 2271, the Kongo was heading towards Centaurus when Admiral Lori Ciana decided to come aboard and tour the human colonies there. (TOS novel: A Flag Full of Stars)
The Kongo was under the command of Captain J.C. Frederiksen in 2274. That year, the Kongo, joined by the USS Halk and the USS Rome, responded to a distress call from a Federation outpost in the Orion sector. Upon arrival, the Starfleet ships were engaged by six Klingon D18-class ships, commanded by Captain Kresz sutai-Kargon. (FASA RPG: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update)
- The timeline in the Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update claims the Kongo was destroyed when it engaged the Klingons. Unless another starship were assigned the name, or the wrecked Kongo had been refurbished, the ship wouldn't have been able to participate in the novel Shell Game or in Operation: Retrieve.
In 2275, the Kongo was 36 hours away from the USS Enterprise's position. The Kongo later met with the Enterprise at the Romulan Station Reltah. The Kongo was under the command of Capt Kosnett. (TOS novel: Shell Game)
The Kongo was later refit to Enterprise-subclass (Mk III) specifications on stardate 2/2102. (TOS reference: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
The Kongo was patrolling the Klingon Neutral Zone in 2293. The Kongo was considered to be a part of Operation Retrieve of that year. (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
