ShipSpotlight-Avenger

USS Avenger, CA-1500 (previously, BC-1500, formerly NCC-1500) was the first of the Fearless class heavy cruisers refit into an Avenger class battle cruiser during the Borg invasion of 2402. Her original commissioning date was Star Date 240208.25. First of three, the Avenger was followed by the USS Gettysburg, BC-1863 and the USS Dauntless, BC-1553. Following the Borg invasion there were no more battle cruisers commissioned by Star Fleet.

During the shoreleave from Star Date 241303.25 through 241304.13 the USS Avenger was re-classed as the Avenger Class Heavy Cruiser from "Battle Cruiser" as part of Star Fleet's CA consolidation project. The only change to the BC classed vessels was re-designation as CA- registry numbers.

The USS Avenger, CA-1500 is part of the 4th Fleet. For the full article please see USS Avenger, CA-1500
