The USS Crazy Horse was an Template:ShipClass Federation starship in service during the 24th century.

In late 2369, the Crazy Horse was part of a Starfleet task force that was preparing for a possible Borg invasion. (TNG: "Descent")

In 2370, the Crazy Horse transported Admiral Erik Pressman to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "The Pegasus")

Background

The Crazy Horse was named for Chief Crazy Horse of the Oglala Sioux tribe, who resisted American takeover of his people's lands in the 1870s. It is interesting to note that the USS Lakota, another Excelsior-class ship, was named after Crazy Horse's tribe; two other Excelsior-class vessels, the USS Malinche and USS Tecumseh, are also named after indigenous persons from the Americas.

The first edition of Star Trek Encyclopedia listed this starship's registry as NCC-50446 and her class as Template:ShipClass. After her appearance in "The Pegasus", the 2nd edition of the encyclopedia changed the class, but retained the registry number.
