[edit] Background
The Calypso was never seen in use or mentioned in dialog, but its designation comes from the Next Generation Technical Manual. It was named for Jacques-Yves Cousteau's ship Calypso by Patrick Stewart. Production staff wanted to use the yacht in episodes such as TNG: "The Neutral Zone" and "Samaritan Snare", but budget restrictions prohibited building a miniature and sets. The yacht did not become part of Trek canon until the debut of the USS Enterprise-E's Cousteau in Star Trek: Insurrection.
It was likely destroyed when the saucer section of the Enterprise-D crash landed on Veridian III as it was usually docked to the underside of the saucer.
