Changes: USS Valley Forge

Revision as of 19:45, 7 October 2014

The USS Valley Forge (NCC-43305) was a 24th century Federation Excelsior-class starship operated by Starfleet. The Valley Forge fought in the Dominion War and, in late 2374, saw action at the First Battle of Chin'toka. She took heavy damage during an attack run against Cardassian orbital weapon platforms when a crippled Akira-class starship crashed into her starboard nacelle, followed by several disruptor hits that penetrated her primary hull. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

The Valley Forge's appearance in "Tears of the Prophets" was confirmed by John Gross and Karen Sickles of Digital Muse in a 25 June 1998 post, by DS9 Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes, on the newsgroup alt.tv.star-trek.ds9.
This ship was most likely named after the American Revolution encampment and training ground outside of Philadelphia. It could also have been named after one of the United States Navy's ships of the same name.
