USS Kelvin (NCC-0514)

The USS Kelvin (NCC-0514) was a Federation survey vessel in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century. By the early 2230s, the Kelvin was under the command of Captain Richard Robau. Also serving aboard the Kelvin at this time was Lieutenant George Kirk (first officer), and his wife, Winona. 

Around stardate 2233.04, the Kelvin was en route back to Earth from the Federation-Klingon border, so that the heavily pregnant Winona could give birth to her second son, James T. Kirk, at home in Iowa. (: "Split Infinities")

Alternate reality
In an alternate 2233, the Kelvin detected a large black hole which had been created in 2387 by the detonation of a red matter device. Soon after, a large starship of unidentified origin emerged from the black hole and launched an attack on the Kelvin. The Kelvins defenses were soon overwhelmed by a barrage of torpedoes, but the attack was suddenly stopped and the Naradas first officer Ayel requested that Captain Robau come aboard to discuss terms.

With no other options, Robau turned command over to Kirk and went aboard the Narada, where he was quickly killed by its captain, Nero. Battle quickly resumed, and Kirk ordered the Kelvin's crew to abandon ship, he then tried to engage the autopilot and ram the Narada, but with that system damaged, Kirk himself had to pilot the Kelvin and sacrifice his life to save the crew, including his wife and newly born son, James. 

Shortly after, nearly 800 crew members were rescued by the crew of the USS Daedalus (NCC-1293) who responded to the Kelvin's distress call. The survivors were taken to Starbase 1 where they received medical treatment and counseling. (: "Split Infinities")
