In 2267, the Constitution was listed in a computer readout of vessels undergoing repair. Commodore [[ma:Stone (Commodore)|Stone]] referred to this data when the [[ma:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|USS Enterprise]] arrived at [[ma:Starbase 11|Starbase 11]] following an encounter with an ion storm.

Just like all the other Constitution class starships that that survived their first few five year missions, the USS Constitution finally underwent a major refit in the 2270s. This refit was essentially a complete reconstruction that included new warp nacelles, modification of the engineering hull and "neck", enlargement of the saucer section and a new bridge module. The key areas that were reconstructed were as follows:

The key areas that were reconstructed were as follows:


Most obviously, the old cylindrical nacelles (length: 162m, diameter: between 13.2m and 15.6m) were replaced with new angular ones (length: 152m, width: 12m, height: 15.6m). This provided the Constitution with Starfleets new advance propulsion systems that had been developed for the Miranda Class Starships. To accompany the change of nacelles, the Constitution’s warp nacelle struts were also completely replaced and connected to the engineering hull much closer to the neck than before.
