Changes: USS Horatio

Revision as of 11:30, 29 November 2014

The USS Horatio was a 24th century Federation Ambassador-class starship operated by Starfleet. In 2364, the Horatio was under the command of Captain Walker Keel.

In that year, this ship, along with the USS Renegade and the USS Thomas Paine, secretly rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise-D at Dytallix B. On the planet's surface, the four ship captains had a covert meeting in which they discussed the possibility of an alien conspiracy within Starfleet. Soon afterwards, the Horatio was destroyed with all hands in Sector 63 when the ship imploded. The destruction of the ship was recorded as a disturbance by the Enterprise's sensors. The Enterprise raced to the origin of the disturbance, and discovered the wreckage of the Horatio. The cause for the implosion was believed to have been due to sabotage at the hands of Horatio's first officer, whom Keel had suspected of being under the influence of an neural parasite. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the Horatio had a registry number of NCC-10532. ^{(citation needed • edit)} Despite not physically appearing on screen as an intact starship, the Horatio marked the first canon reference to the Ambassador-class in Star Trek.

-==Background==
-According to the ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'', the ''Horatio'' had a registry number of NCC-10532. Despite not appearing, intact, on screen, the ''Horatio'' marked the first appearance of the ''Ambassador''-class in ''[[Star Trek]]''.
+{{Ambassador class starships}}
-The ''Horatio'' may have been named after [[Admiral]] [[Horatio Nelson]], or possibly the fictional seaman, [[Horatio Hornblower]]. However, ships in general, and more specifically Starfleet ships, are rarely named for a historical figure's'' first ''name. On the other hand, at least one ship of Britain's Royal Navy was named HMS ''Horatio'' (after Nelson), so perhaps this Starfleet vessel is named for one of the two men named above (or any other Horatio). It may even be that it was named in honor of the HMS ''Horatio'', for whatever reason.

-This vessel might also be named for [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s Horatio, from ''[[Hamlet]]'', since we know other starships bear names from this origin (such as the [[USS Trinculo]]).
