USS Zumwalt (Constitution class)

The USS Zumwalt is a Constitution class starship. It is mostly seen in the background, due to the more modern Excelsior class mostly replacing it in mainstream service, but as with many Constitution-class is still in limited service.

History
Circa 2380, during a Kobayashi Maru simulation, after a simulated Galaxy class starship performed a saucer seperation, as the stardrive stayed behind to fight off two D'deridex class warbirds despite being hopelessly outnumbered, the Zumwalt rendezvoused with the saucer section along with two other simulated Federation starships; while the simulated Galaxy's stardrive had been destroyed with the loss of all crew, the warbirds had been weakened and were outnumbered. It was determined that the survivors beamed from the Kobayashi Maru would have barely survived at the cost of the Galaxy's crew; the individual being tested for command, Isaac R. Bailey, considered his sacrifice acceptable in that circumstance.

Some time later, Isaac's first true command, the USS Mercury, rendezvoused with the actual Zumwalt.
