The USS Ajax (NCC-11574) was an Apollo-class Federation starship that was in service during the 24th century.
In 2327, the Ajax was under the command of Captain Narth. Ensign Cortin Zweller was first assigned to the Ajax following his graduation from Starfleet Academy. (TNG: "Tapestry")

The Ajax was one of the ships that received Kosinski's experimental warp drive upgrades in 2364. The Engineering staff reported a measurable increase in performance and engine efficiency following the upgrade. It was later suggested that these enhancements in performance may have been attributed to straightening out simple engine inefficiencies. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
The Ajax later conducted a deep space exploration mission in Sector 21834 in 2367. (TNG: "Brothers", et al.)
- This information appeared on the Starship Mission Status screen.
In 2368, the Ajax was assigned to Captain Picard's task force that blockaded the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. It served as a focal point in the tachyon detection grid, as it was linked to thirteen other starships during the grid's initial deployment. (TNG: "Redemption II")
Appendices
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.
According to an Okudagram that appears in the Simon and Schuster PC Game Star Trek: Captain's Chair, the Ajax was on a deep space exploration mission to Sector 21396 in 2369.
It's possible that the ship mentioned in "Redemption, Part II" was a newer, different ship than the one mentioned in "Tapestry". However, without any direct evidence to support this, this article assumes that it is the same ship.
Apocrypha
The Stargazer novel Gauntlet suggests that Cortin Zweller is second officer of the Ajax by 2333.
The Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph featured a listing of a Saladin-class Ajax with the registry NCC-547 (it was of the Cochise-subclass).
