STARSHIP
USS Seattle
Class:	Ambassador
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Status:	Destroyed (2375)

The USS Seattle was an Ambassador-class Federation starship in service in the 24th century.

In 2374, the Seattle was recommissioned to fight in the Dominion War. The ship was destroyed battling a Jem'Hadar ship at the Battle of Rashanar in 2375. In 2378, the Seattle was one of the hundreds of derelict starships from the battle in the "boneyard". Lieutenant Commander Data discovered that the Seattle had been hit by scavengers looking for salvage. (TNG novel: A Time to Be Born)

In A Time to Be Born, Data had noted that the USS Seattle was the only Ambassador-class starship that had perished in the Battle of Rashanar. However in the next book, A Time to Die, another Ambassador-class (the USS Hickok) was mentioned at the battle site.
