She completed several notable deep space exploration missions, first under the command of Captain Akintola and then later Captains Chavez, Mattsson, Zhang and Commodore De Luca. She was severely damaged towards the end of her final 5-year mission, and she was mothballed in 2272 after Starfleet decided it was easier to construct a brand new [[Constitution class refit]] rather than repair and refit ''Venture'' herself. She was later decommissioned in 2281. | ||
She was slated for the scrapyard but a group of ''Venture'' veterans lobbied for her donation to the Starfleet Historical Museum, and she was transferred to the museum's orbital complex in 2286, where she has remained to this day. | She was slated for the scrapyard but a group of ''Venture'' veterans lobbied for her donation to the Starfleet Historical Museum, and she was transferred to the museum's orbital complex in 2286, where she has remained to this day. | ||
