===Background===
 
Although no official registry or class was established during the [[TOS]]-era when this ship was mentioned, the ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' stated that the registry was NCC-1647 and that the ship was a {{ShipClass|Constitution}}.
 
 
Many other publications, beginning with ''[[The Making of Star Trek]]'' and [[Franz Joseph]]'s ''[[Star Fleet Technical Manual]]'', list ''Farragut'' also as a {{ShipClass|Constitution}} [[heavy cruiser]], however with the registry NCC-1702, although this was never specified. (The ''Technical Manual'' also listed the vessel as being destroyed, although there is no evidence supporting that assertion.) With the release of the film ''Star Trek'', the idea that the ''Farragut'' is of the Constitution-class can be put to bed. With only one ship of the Constitution-class present at the spacedock, the ''Farragut'' is identified canonically as belonging to a distinctly different class.
 
 
The ''Farragut'' was likely named for {{w|David Farragut}}, a 19th century sailor and commander of a US Navy blockade squadron during the American Civil War. Farragut is perhaps best known for giving the order "''Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!''".
 
 
===Apocrypha===
 
Two [[DC Comics|DC]] [[comics|comic book]]s (see the [[Star Trek (DC)|DC Star Trek article]]) provide non-[[canon]] appearances of the ''Farragut''. "[[The Ashes of Eden (comic)|The Ashes of Eden]]" shows a model of the {{ShipClass|Constitution}} ''Farragut'' matching the studio-used registry NCC-1647, while the comic "[[Debt of Honor]]" shows the ship with the registry NCC-1702 (matching the ''[[Star Fleet Technical Manual]]'').
 
 
In the novel ''[[The Ashes of Eden]]'' by William Shatner, Kirk participates in an early holodeck recreation of his first encounter with the creature, that confirms that he could have done nothing; if the ''Farragut'' had fired on the creature, the entire ship would have been destroyed.

For the prime universe counterpart, please see USS Farragut (23rd century).

USS Farragut was a 23rd century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2258, the Farragut was part of a Federation fleet sent to investigate Vulcan while it was being attacked by the Romulan mining vessel Narada. Nyota Uhura was assigned to the Farragut; however, she was able to convince Spock to have her transferred to the USS Enterprise, unknowingly sparing her life. Another cadet who was assigned to the Farragut was Gerace.

Upon arrival at Vulcan, the Farragut, along with the rest of the fleet, save for the Enterprise, was destroyed. (Star Trek)

The Farragut was briefly seen, however not specifically identified, when the shuttlecraft Gilliam flew over Starbase 1 to the Enterprise.
Screenwriter Roberto Orci opined that James T. Kirk served a semester on the Farragut, just as his prime reality counterpart did in the same timeframe. (Star Trek Magazine issue 171, p. 33)
