USS Constantinople

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

The USS Constantinople was a Federation transport used to ferry settlers that was in service during the mid-24th century.

In 2365, the Constantinople suffered a major hull breach while transporting 2,012 Federation colonists near Gravesworld. Forty-six of her people suffered injuries, mostly minor. The USS Enterprise-D replied to the liner's distress call, and was able to help facilitate necessary repairs to the ship, as well as provide her with the required medical supplies.

[edit] Background

The Star Trek Encyclopedia describes this vessel as an Istanbul-class starship, with a registry number of NCC-34852. In an early draft of the script, the Constantinople was identified as the Mary Rogers.

This starship may have been named after the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
