In 2368, the Sutherland was temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Commander Data while it was part of a blockade along the Romulan-Klingon border. Lieutenant Commander Christopher Hobson served as the ship's first officer. (TNG episode: "Redemption, Part II"; Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual; WizKids module: Tactics)

The Sutherland was equipped with a Yoyodyne propulsion system, and Type-X phasers. (WizKids module: Tactics)

Later in the war it was assigned to the Ninth Fleet at Bajor and commanded by Captain Shelby. Manuele Atoa also served aboard the Sutherland. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited"; DS9 - Worlds of Deep Space Nine novel: The Dominion: Olympus Descending; WizKids module: Tactics)

The Sutherland docked at Deep Space 9 again several months later. Jadzia Dax wanted to invite several of its crew members to a party on the station. (DS9 episode: "Change of Heart")

Later that year, the Sutherland was one of sixteen Federation ships assigned to defend the Setlik system against Cardassian forces during the Dominion War. (SCE eBook: War Stories)

In 2385, the Sutherland was patrolling the Romulan border and was due to be relieved by the USS Enterprise. (ST - The Fall novel: Peaceable Kingdoms)
