USS Patton was a Marshall-class destroyer in United Earth Starfleet service in the mid-22nd century. (Spaceflight Chronology)

During the Earth-Romulan War in 2156, Patton -- commanded by Captain Joseph Spadora -- was one of the Earth Starfleet vessels on patrol in the Eta Leonis system when it discovered the advance flank of a Romulan invasion fleet en route to the Rigel system. Patton was ambushed and destroyed by three Romulan U-15 cruisers.

Background[]

The ship was named after General George S. Patton (1885-1945), a military leader during Earth's World War II.
