10 Worst Ever Starships In Star Trek
9. USS Curry
Imagine, if you will, that an Excelsior-class vessel 'span out' while exiting the mycelial plane, only to hit an 'undetectable Hawking radiation wall.' That same phenomenon inverted the insides of the USS Glenn's crew - so we have to wonder if something similar occurred in the design of the USS Curry.
One of the limping Frankenstein fleet of A Time To Stand's opening scene, the Curry resembled a mash-up of Excelsior and Miranda-class ships, with a drive section jutting out before the primary hull. It was burning in space as well, adding a fizzing despair to the gloom.
The design is a mess, offering far too many weak points for the enemy to target. Cannibalising existing designs may work in some circumstances but this one reminds the audience of that transporter scene from The Motion Picture.
To paraphrase a shell-shocked Starfleet transporter chief, we can only hope that this doesn't live long.
