The '''USS Tiger''' was reassigned from patrol duty near Earth to Starbase 118 on stardate 237808.31. One of only a few [[ma:Steamrunner class|Steamrunner]] Class ships, the ship was to undergo an experimental overhaul to investigate the feasibility of updating the class and launching a new subclass of Search & Rescue ships. After a six-month tour of testing and design, the Tiger was commissioned for refit by [[Wolf, Tristan|Admiral Wolf]]. Once completed, it became the prototype for the new [[Steamrunner-Wolverine class]] vessel, and now serves in the expected S.A.R. capacity for StarBase 118. | |||

At [[ma:Battle of Wolf 359|Wolf 359]], the USS Steamrunner (which was still not fully built, and was operating at around 40% efficiency) showed its might against the [[ma:Borg|Borg]], scratching up several important hits. The success of the vessel so impressed Starfleet Command, that they immediately drew up plans to build three more Steamrunner class ships: the Tiger, the Horatio and the Yamato. | ||
