The USS Bowie (NCC-597) was a 23rd century Federation starship in Starfleet service.
Service history and disposition[]
Bowie, with registry number NCC-597, was authorized for construction as a Mk VII Hermes-class class I scout by a Starfleet appropriation on stardate 0965 by the early to mid-2260s decade. (ST reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)
Bowie was in service as an Akula-class scout in the 2280s and 2290s, initially equipped as a standard scout (SC). (ST video games: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
- It is not clear if Bowie was ever built to the original Federation scout specifications, as the SFTM only notes it was authorized. It is possible it was built as a Hermes-class vessel and then refit, or that the plans were cancelled and/or altered to make way for the ship commissioning of the Akula-class.
This vessel had the capability of being modified for service as an advanced scout (SC+ in the Monoceros-subclass series). (ST video games: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
- No history or definitive fate is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a scout by the SFC games' software.
