Revision as of 02:03, 17 August 2011
The USS Merrimac (NCC-61827) was a Federation Template:ShipClass starship that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century. Commander Rudman was an officer serving aboard the Merrimac in 2369. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")
In 2366, the Merrimac was assigned to personnel transport duties; it ferried Ambassador Sarek and his entourage back to Vulcan after the successful conclusion of a treaty on Legara IV. (TNG: "Sarek")
In 2367, the Merrimac was on special assignment with the Vulcan Science Academy. (TNG: "Brothers")
It later served in Captain Picard's task force to blockade the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War in 2368. It was positioned between the USS Ahwahnee, USS Hornet, USS Charleston and USS Tian An Men. (TNG: "Redemption II") Later that year, the Merrimac transported Cadet Wesley Crusher back to Starfleet Academy on Earth. (TNG: "The Game")
In 2369, the USS Enterprise-D was supposed to rendezvous with the Merrimac, so a rendezvous schedule was transmitted to Cmdr. Rudman. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")
Template:Nebula-class starships
Background
- The class and registry were derived from an okudagram displayed in the observation lounge starting around TNG Season 4. This information appeared on the Starship mission status screen.
- Star Trek: Voyager's initial character bible for Chakotay suggests that he served on the USS Merrimac early in his career.
- According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, "this ship was named in honor of the first iron-clad warship, which fought for the Confederate Army against the warship Monitor in the American Civil War." By that time, however, the ship had been rechristened CSS Virginia.
