The USS Huron (NCC-F1913) was a Federation freighter that was under the command of Captain O'Shea during late 23rd century.
In 2270, the Huron was carrying a load of dilithium when it was required to rendezvous with the USS Potemkin to transfer a vital supply of a medication called strobolin to choriocytosis-stricken USS Enterprise.
En route, the Huron was intercepted, attacked and raided by Orion pirates, who sabotaged her engines before making off with her cargo.
Upon the rescue of her crew by the Enterprise, the hulk of the Huron was abandoned as "space junk." (TAS: "The Pirates of Orion")

Background
The Huron is the namesake of a Native American tribe of North America.
The Huron was the first Federation registered Starfleet ship design besides the Template:ShipClass to ever be shown on screen. No class name was ever recorded for this freighter design. One oddity surrounding this ship is the registry number NCC-F1913, since no other canon starship since has ever used a letter prefix in the number field of the registry. Presumably, the "F" stands for freighter.
Although the ship was manned by Starfleet officers this vessel was consistently referred to as as the "SS" Huron, rather than the "USS" Huron, as in the case of the SS Tsiolkovsky. Despite this, the hull clearly reads "USS Huron".
