The USS Noble was a Federation starship in service in the 24th century.
In 2370, the Noble and the USS Excelsior were dispatched to search for the missing USS Hera. (TNG: "Interface")
- The script for the scene where the Noble was mentioned gives the spelling used on this page. However, the Star Trek Encyclopedia mentions this vessel as being one and the same with the USS Nobel (NCC-55012), which was featured written on a large computer display in some DS9 episodes. The Encyclopedia also mentions this to be an Olympic-class ship, although the spelling, registry and class information is not derived from any other behind the scenes resource.
