The USS Okinawa (NCC-13958) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship in service in the 24th century. James Leyton commanded it in the 2350s and 2360s and Benjamin Sisko was its Chief Engineer in 2360. (DS9 episodes: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost"; DS9 novel: Hollow Men; ST video game: Legacy)
In 2360, Captain Leyton brought the Okinawa, with Curzon Dax aboard, to Renaga, where they rescued Sisko, Tuvok, Selar and Zetha. (TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)
Soon after, Benjamin Sisko switched to the command division and was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. He served as Leyton's first officer when the Okinawa fought on the front lines during the Tzenkethi War. (DS9 episodes: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")
While serving on the Okinawa, Sisko was fascinated by space, particularly for the innumerability and constancy of stars. (DS9 novel: The 34th Rule)
Sisko recalled those who had died aboard the Okinawa during the Tzenkethi War in 2375, after the end of the Dominion War. (DS9 short story: "Requital")
The Okinawa was still in service in 2378. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)
