After the ship's previous captain's yacht, the Calypso, was destroyed in 2378, it was replaced by the Cousteau. In 2382, this vessel's computer systems were used by Lieutenants T'Ryssa Chen and Taurik to work around sabotage done to the Enterprise systems. (TNG - Typhon Pact novel: Paths of Disharmony) The Cousteau was named after 20th century undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau.
