USS Hunt

Summary
The USS Hunt registration NCC 3866 was a Miranda-Class starship in service in the late 23rd century through to the early 25th century. Having seen approximately 126 years of service, it holds the honour of being the fourth most long-serving ship in Starfleet's history. Throughout its service, it saw action in many conflicts, including the Federation-Romulan War, the Federation-Klingon War, the Battle of Sector 001 and the Dominion War. In 2389, she was one of the first starships to respond to a distress call made by the USS New Orleans in Pellian space, resulting in a daring mission by its reluctant new Captain James Copper. She foundered in 2408 over the skies of Arvada III after a devastating battle with the Scolarians.

Lineage
The ship's namesake comes from two naval warships from the 20th century, the USS Hunt DD-194 and USS Hunt DD-674, both named for the United States Secretary of the Navy, William H. Hunt (1823 - 1884.)

Concept & Construction
Hunt was one of many Miranda-Class starships constructed in the latter part of the 23rd century, along such infamous vessels as Reliant, Saratoga and Soyuz. The design was revolutionary for Starfleet at the time due to the quick turnaround time for construction, particularly at a time of conflict. The class proved to be a sturdy and durable one, with some surviving into the 25th century. Many were lost during the Dominion War however, leaving only a handful still in service.
