The Atlantis (NX-05) was an NX-class starship in the 22nd century, under the command of Captain Weiss. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
History
She was under construction by November 2155 at Proxima Shipyard, and launched in late February, 2156.
Her first mission, along with the Starfleet's other NX-class starships, was to test the warp detection grids provided by the Vulcans for Coalition worlds. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
At one point, Atlantis accompanied the newly-refitted Columbia-class SS Enterprise (NX-01) on a days-long standoff with a squadron of four Romulan birds-of-prey. The Romulans shot first and hit Atlantis. The Earth forces damaged one bird-of-prey and dispersed the others. (ST references: Ships of the Line 2014, Ships of the Line)
Atlantis was destroyed on June 20, 2156 over Tau Ceti IV during the Romulan invasion, but the crew managed to get into the escape pods. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
Alternate events
In 2156, shortly after the beginning of the Earth-Romulan War, Atlantis was one of three Warp-5 starships not ordered back to the Sol System for defense; the others were Enterprise and Constellation.
By 2160, Atlantis had been given the prefix "USS". In that year Atlantis took part in the Battle of Cheron, surviving the conflict along with Enterprise. (ST references: Federation: The First 150 Years, Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library)
