Garth's starship

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Fleet Captain Garth of Izar was a starship commanding officer in the mid 23rd century. His starship was involved in many important historical actions. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")

Garth's ship (or ships) were never identified by name or design, but it was referenced that he was in command of some type of vessel on multiple occasions. It is not known how many ships he commanded, as he might have commanded a different vessel in each event.

[edit] Axanar

Garth commanded his vessel to victory at Axanar some time prior to James Kirk's completion of Starfleet Academy. While Garth was a military hero at Axanar, Cadet Kirk was decorated for an Axanar "peace mission".

Non-canon source The Four Years War, an RPG reference book published by FASA, identified Garth's ship at this time as the USS Xenophon, a Marklin-class destroyer.

[edit] Mutiny

Garth ordered his starship's crew to destroy a sovereign, populated planet. They refused his order, and he was institutionalized at Elba II.

Since this event would seem to be more than a decade after Axanar, it is not known if Garth would have been on a different ship at this point.
