The USS Melbourne (NCC-62043) was an Excelsior-class Starfleet starship in service during the mid-24th century. In 2364, the Melbourne, along with two other starships and the USS Enterprise-D, were docked at Starbase 74. Due to her repair status, the Melbourne was unable to pursue the hijacked Enterprise-D. Starbase 74's commanding officer, Orfil Quinteros, attempted to rush the repair schedule to get the ship ready to pursue, but the situation remedied itself before the Melbourne was finished.
