The USS Pawtucket (NCC-18437) was a 24th century Federation starship, a Miranda-class light cruiser in Starfleet service at the beginning of the 2380s decade. The Pawtucket was named for a Human tribe of Native Americans from the planet Earth, and the region of the North American continent where they originated, a cityWP in New England. Two US Navy tug vessels of history also bore this name.
