Docked at Deep Space 9 in 2370.

The vessel must have been withdrawn from service, or destroyed prior to 2374 to make way for the commissioning of the Prometheus listed below. Two shots originally used for the USS Prometheus docked at Deep Space 9 were later reused from "Second Sight" to represent other vessels. Both the USS Lexington ("Explorers") and the USS T'Kumbra ("Take Me Out to the Holosuite") were represented from the shots showing the ship below the station's equatorial axis; and an unnamed transport ("Doctor Bashir, I Presume") in the shots.

Both ships are probably named after Prometheus, a character in Greek mythology. It was said that Prometheus stole fire from the gods to benefit man, starting actual civilization, for which he received punishment.
