USS Edsel

Miranda-class ship given to Travis Dillon during his brief stint as a captain. The Edsel was mainly a patrol ship assigned to the Klingon border, but it was in spacedock for a refit when word of Dr. Reginald Smythe's discovery on Gulax Four reached Starfleet. The Edsel was immediately sent to investigate. After blundering the assignment, Dillon was removed from command. (Star Traks 3 [TRK]) The Edsel disappeared into the Bermuda Expanse a short time later. (Cruising For Trouble [TRK]) The Edsel was named for the son of Henry Ford.
