10 Worst Ever Starships In Star Trek

7. Springfield Class

The Springfield-class USS Checkov finds itself on this list for, in all honesty, purely aesthetic reasons. Of all of the ships created for the graveyard scene in The Best Of Both Worlds, Part 2, it is by far the ugliest. That saucer section, sitting beneath those highlighter pens, above a deflector dish that screams of an afterthought is just a bizarre choice.

To be fair, it was never meant to be looked at with any real scrutiny. It was among many that were popped into the background of a scene to suggest a greater battle had taken place, so one can't hold too much against it. 

It was almost named on-screen before the writers worried that evoking such a popular character's name in that setting would be too disturbing for audiences. 

The Springfield-class may have done exactly what it set out to do, but in all fairness, we wouldn't be shocked to find the Borg had targeted this one first, just to put it out of their misery.
