USS Hermes

The USS Hermes (NCC-10376) was a 24th century Federation Devlin class frieghter operated by Starfleet.

In early 2368, the Hermes was docked at Starbase 234's spacedock for repairs. The ship joined Captain Picard's fleet that blockaded theKlingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. It was prematurely deployed, despite the yard superintendent's belief the ship was not ready for launch. Experienced officers from the USS Enterprise-D augmented the crew of this ship. The ship was one of twenty-three assembled for the fleet and was one of the seventeen chosen for the tachyon network. Identified by its name and registry number, the ship's position in the network was monitored from the Enterprise-D.

When the network was disrupted by a high-energy burst released by the Romulans, the net was no longer effective in a radius of ten million kilometers around the USS Sutherland. Subsequently, Picard ordered the fleet to proceed to Gamma Eridon at maximum warp, where the fleet would attempt to reestablish the net before the Romulans got there.

By 2375 the USS Hermes was being used as a training by Starfleet. That year Jack Noble took his cadet cruise aboard the Hermes and graduated with the rank of ensign.

(It has not been reported if the USS Hermes was still in service by 2381 but given the registry number and the fact that it had become a training vessel by 2375 it is likely that the ship has been decommissioned.)
