Star Trek: Every Hero Ship Ranked Worst To Best

10. The Cerritos

It may seem unfair to compare the USS Cerritos from Star Trek: Lower Decks to other Starfleet ships, since most of the humour of the show comes from the fact that the ship is so lame.

The Cerritos was a California-class vessel, one of the smallest starships in the fleet. The series creator, Mike McMahan, explained to Marcus Bronzy during an interview on How To Kill An Hour that the yellow markings on the ship's hull indicate that it's primary mission is to provide engineering support, specifically for second contacts.

As we saw in the Lower Decks pilot, second contacts are very sensitive missions, though the drama is significantly more scaled back compared to first contact, which is usually done by a more advanced ship with a more experienced crew.

All in all, the Cerritos is one of the weakest and most generic starships in the fleet and, though the ship saw a fair amount of action throughout the show, it was nothing compared to what Boimler witnessed after being transferred to the Titan, a far more sophisticated vessel.
