STARSHIP
USS Carpenter
Class:	Excelsior
Registry:	NCC-2087
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Launched:	2294
Status:	Destroyed (2367)

The USS Carpenter (NCC-2087) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship, and was launched in 2294.

The Carpenter was listed as missing by Starfleet on June 5, 2334. The bodies of its crew were discovered floating in space, dead of sudden explosive decompression, but no trace of the ship itself was found.

More than thirty years later, the USS Enterprise-D encountered the Carpenter in an alternate universe, where it had been captured by a mechanical race called Mecs. The Carpenter was deprogrammed and destroyed by the Enterprise before the latter ship returned to its own universe. (TNG short story: "Of Cabbages and Kings")
