In early 2367, according to a computer display in the USS Enterprise-D's lounge, the Charleston was conducting deep space exploration in Sector 22055. (TNG: "Brothers")
In early 2368, the Charleston was part of the task force that blockaded the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. It was positioned near the USS Tian An Men, USS Hornet and USS Merrimac. (TNG: "Redemption II")

[edit] Background
The class and registry were derived from an okudagram displayed in the observation lounge starting around TNG Season 4. This information appeared on the Starship Mission Status screen.
The name Charleston may be derived from any one of several sources. For more information, see this page, for a list of possible origins.
