USS Lexington (NCC-30405)
The USS Lexington (NCC-30405) was a 24th century Federation  starship operated by Starfleet.

History 

In 2365, Captain  was the commanding officer of this ship. In that year, the Lexington was assigned to a mission of planetary exploration in Sector 028. The ship was listed on the Starship Deploy Status chart that was on display in the courtroom of Starbase 173. (, okudagram)

Many new graduates of Starfleet Academy in 2369 considered the Lexington a plum assignment and fiercely competed for an assignment aboard her. Dr. Elizabeth Lense, who graduated as a valedictorian from the Starfleet Medical Academy that year, was assigned as the Lexingtons new chief medical officer. Thereafter, the Lexington embarked on an interstellar charting mission. ()

In 2370, the Lexington rendezvoused with the  to load supplies for transport to the Taranko colony. ()

In a virtual reality created by the Founders in early 2371, Jadzia Dax was slated to be transferred from Deep Space 9 to the Lexington as its new science officer. () Later that same year, the Lexington docked at Deep Space 9 for shore leave following its interstellar charting mission. ()

In 2373, the Lexington fought against the second Borg invasion at the Battle of Sector 001. After the initial contact with the cube, the Lexingtons first casualty report listed 96 dead and 22 wounded. ()

The Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 462) and StarTrek.com described the Lexington from "Thine Own Self" to be an  starship with the registry number NCC-14427. As the ship was not seen in that episode, it would be unnecessary to think it wasn't the Nebula-class Lexington as it was already in service by 2369 according to "Explorers".

The closed captioning on the VHS version of Star Trek: First Contact referred to the Lexicon and not the Lexington. This had been changed on the closed captioning for the Special Collector's Edition DVD. However, the audio does sound like it could be either one, so the presence of either ship was possible.

The   was named for an United States aircraft carrier that fought in the Pacific theater during World War II. This was probably the case for the 24th century Lexington. (Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 462))
