USS Carolina (23rd century)

For the 24th century starship, please see USS Carolina (24th century).

The USS Carolina was a 23rd century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2267, the Carolina was registered as being in the same sector as Capella IV. A distress signal was ostensibly transmitted by the Carolina to the USS Enterprise. However, as the Enterprise had previously been diverted by a fake distress call from the SS Dierdre, acting captain Montgomery Scott decided to ignore the "Carolina", observing, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (TOS: "Friday's Child")
