"Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand."

    —Neil Armstrong - Ship's Dedication Quote

The USS Yorktown is an Echelon-class starship that serves as the flagship of the Fourth Fleet. The Yorktown is the fourth ship to bear the name and follows a legacy of proven ships of exploration. The name Yorktown has often found its name into the halls of Starfleet Command as a proven name of science, and a stalwart ship in times of defense of the Federation. The name "Yorktown" goes back as far as the founding of the Federation and, in fact, Earth Starfleet.
