Service History
Not much is known about her early service, although it is reasonable to assume that she is a well traveled vessel, given her age.

Prior to 2371, she was commanded for an unknown length of time by Captain McBride. (ST: TNF "Death Before Dishonor")

Background
The Passchendaele was named for the devastating battle of the same name that was fought in Earth's First World War. The dedication plaque on her bridge bears a quote from a famous poem about the battle: ''In Flanders fields, the poppies blow; Between the crosses, row on row. . .''
