'''Independence''' is a name which has been bestowed upon a number of ships, ranging from a cruise liner and a frieghter to two aircraft carriers. It has twice been the name given to the lead ship of its class and is a name which recurs throughout the history of Earth's US Navy. The name's meaning of freedom and liberty has ensured that the name has passed to Starfleet vessels that have followed over half a millenium after the first naval vessel. | '''Independence''' is a name which has been bestowed upon a number of ships, ranging from a cruise liner and a frieghter to two aircraft carriers.

[[Image:neworleans.jpg|200px|left|The New Orleans class USS Independence (Starfleet)]]A [[ma:New Orleans class|New Orleans class]] Starfleet vessel, this Independence was commissioned in 2366 and saw service in the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]]. Having survived the war, it underwent a scheduled refit in 2379. The vessel then saw action in the [[Ithassa Region]] under the command of Captain [[Anassasi, Jessa Kyrn|Jessa Anassasi]]. The ship served with distinction in the region, recognised in part by Starfleet by the fact that Captain Anassasi was a Rear Admiral within 4 years of taking command. The vessel was destroyed in an attempted Gorn invasion of the region, being rammed into the Gorn vessel Emperor's Fang by Commander [[Mar, Idril|Mar]] in the climactic [[Battle of Deep Space 17]] on 26th September 2383. | [[Image:neworleans.jpg|200px|left|The New Orleans class USS Independence (Starfleet)]]A [[ma:New Orleans class|New Orleans class]] Starfleet vessel, this Independence was commissioned in 2366 and saw service in the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]].
