STARSHIP
USS Hippocrates
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Status:	active (2371)

The USS Hippocrates was a Starfleet runabout in service in the late 24th century.

In 2371, Admiral Leonard McCoy and pilot Debbie Walter used the Hippocrates to travel from Earth to Jupiter Station. (TOS short story: "Doctors Three")

This vessel was presumably named for ancient physician Hippocrates, suggesting it was specifically assigned for use by Starfleet Medical staff and personnel. As this runabout is not named for a river, it may be inferred that this is not a Danube-class ship.
