The USS Wyvern served with the Mediterranean Fleet in the 4th Destroyer Squadron of nine ships in the 16th Flotilla. Two (as called) Divisions of 4 ships with one Destroyer with a Captain aboard in charge of the Flotilla. At that time there were four Flotillas serving in Malta. After a Flotilla had served 2 years 4 months or so, it was sent back to England to pay off and all crew left the ship which was replaced by a new one which was sent aboard after a refit in the home ports. Therefore, at those times only 3 Flotillas were on station. | The USS Wyvern served with the Mediterranean Fleet in the 4th Destroyer Squadron of nine ships in the 16th Flotilla.

Exercises with the Fleet were War Maneuvers in which, instead of part of the watch, the whole watch was on duty with extra lookouts and certain guns manned. That was when the two parts of the Fleet met in mock battle. (Red and Blue). After all exercises had been completed the Fleet dispersed. Most ships went to various places to anchor and give leave. We had 2 Aircraft Carriers with the Fleet and these also took part in the maneuvers. | Exercises with the Fleet were War Maneuvers in which, instead of part of the watch, the whole watch was on duty with extra lookouts and certain guns manned.

In 2370, the theoretical maximum speed for the warp drive of Nebula-class starships, including the USS Prometheus was warp 9.5. When fine tuned, the warp drive could be pushed to warp 9.6. | In 2370, the theoretical maximum speed for the warp drive of Nebula-class starships, including the USS Prometheus was warp 9.5.

By 2374, Nebula-class ships were refitted. The major changes were a more Galaxy-class style secondary hull and deflector dish. The Wyvern was refitted at this time. Several of these refitted Nebula-class starships were a part of a Federation assault fleet that was assembled to stop the Cardassians from driving the Federation out of the Chin'toka system. | By 2374, Nebula-class ships were refitted.

The vessel was put into dock at Starbase Geneva where she was repaired and recommissioned under the same name and registry number by the 52nd Fleet. When the repairs to the vessel were completed, she was crewed and command of the Vessel turned over to the newly promoted Captain [[Martin O'Shea]]. Captain O'She was ordered to join [[Task Force 19]] for the assault on the [[Mars Defence Perimeter]] and [[Sector 001]] in an attempt to bring an end to the Federation Civil War. | The vessel was put into dock at Starbase Geneva where she was repaired and recommissioned under the same name and registry number by the 52nd Fleet.

A cross section and overview of the ship is given in Issue 154 of Star Trek: Communicator, particularly focusing on the "USS Nebula (NCC-60147)." The cross section shows that the ship is capable of saucer separation, has 8 type-X phaser arrays and 3 photon torpedo launchers, and a mass of 3,309,000 metric tonnes. One inconsistency among the graphics has the registry number "NCC-60000" on the nacelle wing. | A cross section and overview of the ship is given in Issue 154 of Star Trek: Communicator, particularly focusing on the "USS Nebula (NCC-60147)."
