The ''' USS ''Lexington''''' was a [[Constitution class |''Constitution'' class]] starship, under the command of [[Commodore]] [[Robert Wesley]]. [[Lieutenant]] [[Watley]] was assigned to the ''Lexington'' prior to her transfer to the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|USS ''Enterprise'']] in [[2268]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Trials and Tribble-ations]]")
 
 
In [[2268]], the ''Lexington'' was the [[flagship]] in the [[Starfleet battle simulation|war games]] designated to field test the experimental [[M-5 computer]], which had been designed by [[Doctor]] [[Richard Daystrom]] and installed aboard the USS ''Enterprise''.
 
 
Initially, the ''Lexington'' was one of two contacts near the [[Alpha Carinae system]] that engaged the ''Enterprise'' in an unscheduled war game to serve as a surprise attack problem for the M-5. Following the mock attack, the ''Lexington'' reported simulated hits in sufficient quantity and location to justify awarding the surprise engagement to ''Enterprise''. The other contact in the surprise attack was the starship [[USS Excalibur|''Excalibur'']].
 
 
In a second simulated attack of the M-5 war games, the ''Lexington'' was one of four ships brutally assaulted by the M-5 computer when the unit became unstable. The ''Lexington'' was hit numerous times by full [[phaser]]s from the ''Enterprise''. The initial damage estimate on ''Lexington'', reported that the ship was hit in [[engineering]] section, damaging her [[impulse engine]]s and leaving her maneuverable only on [[warp drive]]. The unprovoked attacks on the ''Lexington'' left 53 dead.
 
 
Following the complete crippling of the ''Excalibur'', Wesley requested permission to destroy the ''Enterprise'' with his remaining battle force, to end the threat it posed. His request was approved, however, the ''Enterprise'' fortunately was able to deactivate the M-5 computer before his battle force, which included the [[USS Potemkin|''Potemkin'']] and [[USS Hood|''Hood'']], could attack. ([[TOS]]: "[[The Ultimate Computer]]")
 
 
:''The registry of the ''Lexington'' is uncertain. The ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' uses NCC-1709, the non-canonical [[Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual|Star Fleet Technical Manual]] uses NCC-1703 (with NCC-1709 given to the [[USS Valiant]]). If the NCC-1709 registry is correct, then the Lexington would have been one of the ships under repair at [[Starbase 11]] in [[2267]], as seen on a chart in ''[[TOS]]: "[[Court Martial]]"'. See the [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] article for the full explanation.''

In the late [[24th century]], the ''Lexington'' was a [[Nebula class|''Nebula'' class]] starship.
 
 
Many new graduates of [[Starfleet Academy]] in [[2369]] considered the ''Lexington'' a plum assignment and fiercely competed for an assignment aboard her. [[Doctor]] [[Elizabeth Lense]], who graduated as a valedictorian from the [[Starfleet Medical Academy]] that year, was assigned as the ''Lexington's'' new [[chief medical officer]]. The ''Lexington'' disembarked for a interstellar charting mission afterwards. ([[DS9]]: "[[Explorers]]")
 
: ''The script for "Explorers" described the ''Lexington'' as a [[Galaxy class|''Galaxy'' class]] starship.''
 
 
In [[2370]], the ''Lexington'' rendezvoused with the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS ''Enterprise''-D]] to load supplies for transport to the [[Taranko colony]]. ([[TNG]]: "[[Thine Own Self]]")
 
: ''According to the ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'', the ship referred to in this episode was the [[Excelsior class|''Excelsior'' class]] USS ''Lexington'' (NCC-14427), but the dialogue from "Explorers" (q.v.) indicates that the ''Nebula'' class starship was already in service by 2369.''
 
 
Following its interstellar charting mission it visited [[Deep Space 9]] for [[shore leave]] in [[2371]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Explorers]]")
 
 
In a virtual reality created by the [[Founders]], [[Jadzia Dax]] was transferred to the ''Lexington'' as its new [[science officer]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[The Search, Part II]]")
 
 
In [[2373]], the ''Lexington'' fought against the second [[Borg]] invasion at the [[Battle of Sector 001]]. After the initial contact with the [[Borg cube|cube]], the ''Lexington'' reported 96 casualties, and 22 wounded. (''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'')
