The Whorfin-class was a type of transport vessel used by the Federation in the late 23rd century.

Two Whorfin-class starships, the SS Lakul and the SS Robert Fox, were destroyed by the Nexus energy ribbon in 2293. (Star Trek Generations)

Background

The Whorfin-class was the first starship in the Star Trek saga to be completely computer-generated, as no physical model was built in this design. Much of the information on the ship's statistics appeared on the computer readout screen on the science officer's console.

The class was likely named after John Whorfin, who was in turn, named after Lord John Whorfin, the leader of the evil Red Lectroid army, who possessed the body of Dr. Emilio Lizardo in the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension!.
