A yard superintendent was a Starfleet official who commanded a shipyard.

Such officials made decisions about the operation of the yard, such as which starships to repair, in what order, and when they could leave.

Yard Superintendents also have the authority to act as an Operations coordinator to starships leaving the station or planet.

Some Yard Superintendents can be located on larger starships like carriers that carry many vessels. Their same job description applies, however, in addition, they are also responsible for the upkeep of the hangar and tractor systems.

During the Klingon Civil War, Captain Jean-Luc Picard assembled a fleet at Starbase 234 to implement a blockade of Klingon space with starships at the base. He made some starships part of his fleet, including the USS Hermes, USS Sutherland, and USS Tian An Men, despite the yard superintendent stating that they were not ready for launch.
