The USS Algol (NCC-772) was a Antares-class surveyor in service to the Federation Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. By 2253, the Algol was manned by a joint Centauran-Vulcan crew, and was under the command of Captain Jen Weman. Between 2253 and 2260, the Algol explored, charted, and studied the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era)
