However, because the Technical Manual was used for the references in ''Star Trek I'', it is plausable to assume that this ship was indeed of the ''Constitution''-class.''

-It later served in [[Jean-Luc Picard|Captain Picard's]] task force to blockade the [[Klingon Empire|Klingon]]-[[Romulan Star Empire|Romulan]] border during the [[Klingon Civil War]] in [[2368]]. ([[TNG]]: "[[Redemption, Part II]]")  Later that year, the ''Merrimack'' transported [[Cadet]] [[Wesley Crusher]] back to [[Starfleet Academy]] on [[Earth]]. ([[TNG]]: "[[The Game]]")
-==Background Information==
-The name ''Merrimack'' has a confused history in the ''Star Trek'' universe for several reasons. First, several computer displays in the ''Enterprise''-D conference room misspelled as ''Merrimac'' (without the ''K'').
-The second confusion is an historical inaccuracy. The United States frigate USS ''Merrimack'' was captured by Confederate forces during the [[American Civil War]], who later rebuilt the ship as one of the first [[Wikipedia:ironclad|ironclad]] warships on Earth. The ship was then re-christened as CSS ''Virginia''. The ''Virginia'' fought in Earth's first naval battle between ironclad warships against the Union warship USS ''Monitor''. Therefore, it is erroneous to refer to the battle as between the ''Monitor'' and the ''Merrimack''.
-Confusing matters further, there was even another Civil War-era US warship named USS ''Merrimac'' (spelled without the ''K'')!
