The USS Newton (NCC-1727) was a 23rd century Federation starship that was in service during the late 2250s.
In 2258, the Newton was docked at Earth Spacedock at the time Vulcan came under attack by Nero. Several graduates of Starfleet Academy were assigned to this ship in the scramble to get a fleet to Vulcan. Upon its arrival at Vulcan, the Newton was immediately destroyed by the Narada in the subsequent Battle of Vulcan, along with six other starships. (Star Trek)
The Newton was briefly seen, however not specifically identified, when the shuttlecraft Gilliam flew over the spacedock to the USS Enterprise, and later in front of the Enterprise moments before warping to Vulcan.
The ship was identified from early computer renderings found on the Blu-ray version of Star Trek [1] and from sketches in the Blu-ray special "Starships".
