SS Columbia
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The SS Columbia was a Federation survey vessel in the 23rd century.
The Columbia crashed on Talos IV in 2236 while on a survey expedition in the unexplored Talos Star Group for the American Continent Institute under Dr. Theodore Haskins. The only survivor of the crash was Vina. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II")
- The Columbia may have been named after the historical Columbia, essentially being a moniker for the United States of America. Other possible references post-dating the writing and filming of the episode include the Space Shuttle Columbia (1979-2003) or the Earth Starfleet Columbia (NX-02).
