​Keel laydown
Construction began on the USS Calisto in the late 2360s at the Utopia Planitia Shipyards along with her sister ships, USS Intrepid, USS Bellerophon and USS Pathfinder, under the direction of Admiral Patterson Yorktown was the second ship of the class built after the Intrepid herself, and in early 2371, Archer was launched, and command was handed over to Captain Marcia Taylor.

​Shakedown cruise
Following the launching ceremony, Captain Marcia Taylor took Calisto on a shakedown cruise to the area bordering the Demilitarized Zone. During the voyage, the starship's bio-neural gel packs malfunctioned and left Calisto stranded in space. The USS Hood (NCC-42296), under Robert DeSoto, rushed to Calisto's aid, and she was towed back to Utopia Planitia for repairs.
