There have been several Federation starships known to bear the name USS Valiant. See also SS Valiant.
USS Valiant (NCC-1223)
The USS Valiant (NCC-1223) was a 23rd century ship. It was lost while exploring Star Cluster NGC 321 in 2217.
The ship attempted to make first contact with the system's principle planet Eminiar VII. While in orbit, the Valiant was warned to leave the system, but was “attacked" and subsequently declared a casualty in the war with neighboring Vendikar. The Valiant and the Earth expedition making the report failed to return from its mission. The ship's disposition is listed as "missing in space".
In 2267, on stardate 3192.1, the USS Enterprise was sent on a similar mission, only this time to open diplomatic relations with Eminiar VII. It was at this time that the fate of the Valiant was discovered. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")
- The Valiant registry shown here was not part of the ship's mention in the episode, but a supposition of the creative staff on a later production. An early edition of Okuda's Star Trek Encyclopedia speculated that the Valiant was of the Daedalus-class, but that erroneous note was removed from later editions due to the fact that, in TNG: "Power Play," Data mentions that all Daedalus vessels were taken from service years before the Valiant mission. For many years, large parts of Trek fandom believed the Valiant to be Constitution-class, based upon a faulty speculation of Franz Joseph's Star Fleet Technical Manual (The Valiant existed many years too early to be a Constitution-class). There is no canon information about this ship, but both role-playing games from Last Unicorn and Decipher list the Valiant as a member of the Ranger-class, a design based on a rejected NCC-1701 design by Matt Jefferies in the pre-production of TOS. However, these licensed sources are not canonical fact.

The USS Valiant (NCC-20000) was an Oberth-class starship in the early 24th Century.
The USS Valiant helped in the retrieval of USS Enterprise-D personnel after the vessel's saucer section crashlanded on Veridian III. (Star Trek: Generations)
- A photo documents that the Oberth-class model at ILM was relabeled Valiant some time around the filming of Star Trek: Generations. However, it is not certain whether the Oberth-class seen in that movie was in fact the Valiant.

USS Valiant (NCC-74210)
The Valiant is destroyed by Jem'Hadar fire.
The USS Valiant (NCC-74210) was a Defiant-class starship launched from the Antares Ship Yards in 2372. It was assigned as a training ship for the elite cadet corps Red Squadron under the command of Captain Ramirez.
In late-2373, the Valiant began a three month training cruise mission to circumnavigate the entire Federation before returning home. The plan was for the cadets to run the ship while the officers aboard observed and critiqued their performance.
The ship was transiting the Kepla Sector when the Dominion War began, and subsequently trapped behind enemy lines after a Dominion fleet conquered that sector on the first day. In attempting to return to Federation territory, the Valiant encountered a Cardassian battle cruiser near El-Gatark. In the first fifteen minutes, all seven of the regular officers were killed or critically wounded, including the captain. The Valiant lost main power and was adrift; fortunately the Cardassian cruiser was no better off. The cadets got weapons and impulse engines back on-line within three hours, and were able to destroy that cruiser. The next day, just before Ramirez died, he appointed Cadet Tim Watters to the command.
Early in the war, Starfleet ordered the Valiant to track and collect technical data, on a previously unidentified Jem'Hadar battleship that was believed to be operating in the area. However, because the Valiant was operating under complete radio silence and limited to a speed of Warp 3.2, Starfleet was unaware that the ship's officers were dead, and Watters decided to undertake the mission.
Around Stardate 51825, the Valiant crew rescued Jake Sisko and Ensign Nog from the runabout USS Shenandoah, which was fleeing from a Jem'Hadar attack on Starbase 257. Nog assisted the Valiant crew in repairing their warp drive, and the crew finally managed to catch up to the Dominion battleship and obtain detailed intelligence concerning the ship's capabilities.
Overconfidence, however, proved to be the Valiant crew's undoing. Rather than returning the valuable information to Starfleet, Cadet Watters decided to attempt to destroy the battleship by exploiting a perceived flaw in the warship's construction. Vastly outgunned, the Valiant was quickly destroyed by the larger battleship after an unsuccessful attempt to destroy its antimatter storage system primary support braces. Out of a crew of 35 (plus Nog and Jake), only three survived the battle. (DS9: "Valiant")
- The Valiant's motto was "We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained and new rights to be won." a quote by John F. Kennedy.

USS Valiant (NCC-75418)
The USS Valiant (NCC-75418) was a Federation starship assigned to Starfleet Battle Group Omega in 2379, deployed in sector 1045 to counter the Reman threat. (Star Trek: Nemesis)
- This Valiant might be a Defiant-class, as replacement for the Red Squad's NCC-74210 Valiant, consistent in registry and practice with the Defiant replacement being NCC-75633. However, it could just as likely be a different design.
