Revision as of 22:30, 23 August 2007
The USS Saratoga (NCC-1867) was a Template:ShipClass Federation starship active in the late 23rd century.
In 2286, the Saratoga was patrolling Sector 5, near the Klingon Neutral Zone, when it began tracking a large unknown alien probe on an apparent trajectory to the Terran solar system. Attempts to communicate with the probe were negative on all known frequencies. Saratoga would eventually be neutralized by the probe's signal, and rendered unable to generate its own power, forcing it to run on reserve power only. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
- As registries have been known to change, it remains possible that the NCC-1867 is the USS Saratoga.

Background
The Saratoga was a reuse of the USS Reliant model built for Star Trek II, relabeled with a new registry. An incorrect entry in Michael Okuda's Star Trek Encyclopedia has perpetuated the incorrect registry NCC-1937 for this ship, despite the clearly visible registry in the film.
It may be reasonable to assume that the Neutral Zone that the Saratoga was patrolling was the one shared with the Klingon Empire, as it is noted by Cartwright that the probe had travelled in or near Klingon territory.
The Saratoga is notable in Star Trek history as it was the first ship to appear on screen with a female captain. That captain, played by Madge Sinclair, would go on to play another captain, Silva La Forge, who would appear in TNG: "Interface". La Forge, mother of USS Enterprise-D engineering officer Geordi La Forge, was captain of the USS Hera.
The Saratoga may have been named for the USS Saratoga, an aircraft carrier.
Apocrypha
The Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph featured a listing of a Constitution-class Saratoga with the registry NCC-1724 (it was of the Bon Homme Richard-subclass).
The FASA role-playing game lists the same vessel with the registry NCC-1720, but most data from the game conflicts with filmed sources. The heavy cruiser Saratoga was also mentioned in a novel, The Kobayashi Maru.
The non-canonical Ships of Starfleet lists this USS Saratoga as a Cyane-class heavy frigate with the registry NCC-1892.
