USS Eagle
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The USS Eagle (NCC-956) was a Federation starship in service during the late 23rd century.
The Eagle, along with the USS Excelsior and the USS Potemkin, was selected for the primary operational phase of the abandoned assault code-named Operation Retrieve, which would have rescued Captain James Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy from Rura Penthe in 2293. According to the plans, the Eagle was to provide protection on the Potemkin's port flank as this ship retrieved the two Starfleet officers.
At the time of the operation proposal, the Eagle was conducting a colony re-supply mission in Sector 22858. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

[edit] Background
This starship and registry was not referenced in dialog. This vessel appeared in the plans for Operation Retrieve presented by Colonel West. Besides the USS Excelsior and the USS Springfield, the Eagle and five other starships were graphically represented by the outline of a movie era refit Constitution-class vessel.
From this, the Star Trek Encyclopedia lists the ship as a Constitution-class vessel.
According to a ship listing included in the plans, and not seen in the extended cut of the movie, the Eagle was commanded by K. Garretson, and this ship was located in Sector 22858.
This ship's captain was named after the sixth movie's second assistant director Katy Garretson.[edit] Apocrypha
The non-canonical Star Fleet Technical Manual lists the USS Eagle as a Constitution-class starship, with the registry NCC-1719.
The Andorians: Among the Clans by S. John Ross featured a listing of a Constitution-class USS Eagle with the registry NCC-956 listed in the Star Trek Encyclopedia and the chart seen the Federation President's office in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. In the Andorian language invented by Ross it was known as the USS Atlirith (an Andorian eagle).
