{{USS|Columbia}} was named in honor of the old earth space shuttle Columbia that was destroyed in a tragic accident in 2003. The first ship to enter outer space with the name Columbia was a pioneer in earth's early space history. It is no coincidence that Columbia left dry dock almost exactly 400 years after her ancestor entered earth's orbit for the first time. | {{USS|Columbia}} was named in honor of the old earth space shuttle Columbia that was destroyed in a tragic accident in 2003.

Columbia's active service in support of Starbase 118 Operations came to a violent end when the ship was severely damaged during a [[Starbase 118 The Odyssey Project|mission]]. Extensive repairs were required, and StarFleet took the opportunity to refit the ship with upgraded systems and modules, including a new bridge module, expanded sensor capability, additional support craft, and other system upgrades. | Columbia's active service in support of Starbase 118 Operations came to a violent end when the ship was severely damaged during a [[Starbase 118 The Odyssey Project|mission]].
