STARSHIP
USS Surak
Class:	Constitution-class
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Status:	active (2275)

The USS Surak was a Constitution-class Federation starship in service in the 23rd century.

After the USS Enterprise returned from the inversion drive test trial in 2275, the Surak greeted the Enterprise in the Sol system. (TOS novel: The Wounded Sky)

The novel implies that the Surak was either built at Vulcan or had an all-Vulcan crew.

The ship was destroyed in the 2280's when its crew were infected by a virulent plague that killed most of the crew except an Andorian officer and Spock. Slowly dying, Spock put the ship on a course for the sun in order to destroy the plague to prevent it from infecting others. However, before the ship plunged to its doom, the Andorian crewmember and Spock were rescued by the crew of the USS Excelsior who were unaware of the plague. (TOS comic: "Death Ship!")
