The USS ''Chin'toka'', CA-1375 is the first [[Federation]] starship to bear the name. Another name had already been decided on by [[Starfleet Command]] when the new heavy cruiser was two weeks from completion in the Utopia Planitia shipyards. Then, the Federation was attacked through the [[Bajoran wormhole]] on Stardate 241110.25 by an unknown force that destroyed [[Bajor]], [[Space Station Sierra 18, SS-18]], and [[Starbase Charlie]]. Starfleet Command was reminded of the devastating [[Dominion War]], and very quickly many new ships were renamed to remember and reflect that time, and to encourage [[Starfleet]] crews that another victory was imminent. This heavy cruiser is named after the [[First Battle of Chin'toka|First]] and [[Second Battle of Chin'toka|Second Battles of Chin'toka]] that occurred in the [[Cardassian]] [[Chin'toka system]] during the Dominion War. <br/>
