List of unnamed Federation starships of the Excelsior-class.
Haftel's transport
In mid-2366, this unnamed Excelsior-class starship transported Vice Admiral Anthony Haftel from Galor IV to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D in Sector 396 in order to transport Lal back to Starfleet Research. (TNG: "The Offspring")
- Haftel's ship was a reused of the ship depicting the USS Repulse in the similarily named TNG episode entitled "The Child". From a scene omitted from the script, it was implied that the ship was under Haftel's command, as he was in the captain's chair. The filmed version of this scene simply showed the two vessels (as pictured), as to indicate the Admiral's arrival.
Hanson's transport
On stardate 43997.6, in late-2366, this unnamed Excelsior-class starship transported Admiral J.P. Hanson and Lieutenant Commander Shelby to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D at Jouret IV to review the disappearance of the New Providence colony.
After confirming the disappearance of the colony was a result of a Borg attack, Hanson returned to Starbase 324 aboard this vessel to discuss strategy with Starfleet Command. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I")
- The footage of this ship was also a reuse of the Repulse from "The Child", however, this time a planetary backdrop was added to the shot. The ship iself was described in the script as a "transport class," indicating that no specific vessel was intended to be used for this appearance. It is possible, yet equally unlikely, that this vessel was the USS Melbourne.
Henry's transport
In late-2367, this unnamed Excelsior-class starship transported Vice Admiral Thomas Henry to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D, where Henry was to observe a hearing conducted by Norah Satie and Jean-Luc Picard. (TNG: "The Drumhead")
- The footage of this ship was also a reuse of the USS Hood from "Encounter at Farpoint". The ship iself was not described in the script, nor has it been acknowledged in any other legitimate Trek publications.
Hastur's task force
The USS Venture and two unnamed Excelsior's.
In early 2372, two unnamed Excelsior-class starships, accompanied by the USS Venture and an unnamed Miranda-class starship, were part of Admiral Hastur's task force that arrived at Deep Space 9 to assist the space station against the Klingons during the first Battle of Deep Space 9. The two ships later remained on patrol near the station following the Klingon withdrawl. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior, Part II")
- The unidentified USS Trial may be one of the unnamed Excelsior's that appeared in this scene.
Second Fleet
Several Excelsior-class ships in the Second Fleet.
In late 2373, several unnamed Excelsior-class starships belonged to the Second Fleet.
While the Dominion attacked Deep Space 9, during the second Battle of Deep Space 9, several of these vessels crossed the Cardassian border and destroyed the Dominion shipyards on Torros III. These ships later joined with the USS Defiant and IKS Rotarran, following the evacuation of DS9, for a counterattack against the Dominion forces. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
Escort for USS Voyager

In early 2378, an unnamed Excelsior-class starship stationed near the Sol system was dispatched by Admiral Owen Paris to a defensive point near an opening Borg transwarp aperture near Earth.
The ship opened fire on the emerging Borg sphere, and would assist in its destruction. Following the emergence of USS Voyager from the debris, the unnamed Excelsior-class starship assisted in escorting Voyager back to Earth. (VOY: "Endgame")
