A Nebula-class starship, registry number NCC-60591, this Farragut was the second Federation ship to bear the name.

She was one of three starships sent to Veridian III to pick up the crew of the Enterprise-D, after her stardrive exploded and her saucer section crashed on the planet's surface.

In 2373, Klingon forces destroyed the Farragut somewhere near the Lembatta cluster. During the Klingon offensive, the Farragut was assigned to evacuate Federation colonists on Ajilon Prime.
