- The stardate given would seem to suggest this ship was ordered during the TOS era. It is not known if this vessel was constructed, as the source only specifies that the vessels were authorized for construction.
By the 24th century, this vessel's name had been passed on to a Miranda-class USS Samson. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: A Sea of Troubles)
