USS Stalwart (NCC-2565)

The USS Stalwart (NCC-2565) was an Excelsior-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

In 2321, it was commanded by Andorian captain Ch'vhasreth when he was selected by the Gorn Hegemony to represent the Federation in the second of a series of ritual contests used by the Gorn to determine the nature of Federation/Gorn diplomatic relations.

The Stalwart was named for a number of seagoing vessels from various Earth navies, most predominantly those of the United Kingdom nation state.
