USS Cuffe (NCC-73006)

USS Cuffe, named in honor of Paul Cuffe, the famed 18th/19th century African-American enterpreneur and explorer. The Cuffe was a Nebula-class vessel.

Originally under the command of Captain Sabrina Diaz, Commander Commander Terrence Glover was awarded the captainship in 2370 after a disastrous mission in the Tong Beak Nebula.

The Cuffe was destroyed at the Battle of Cardassia Prime in December 2376. Glover sacrificed the ship against orbital weapons platform fire to shield the escape pods of other wrecked ships.
