There have been three starships named USS Archer since 2379. These ships were named after Jonathan Archer, one of the most historical and famous Federation figures from the 22nd Century. On each plaque of the vessel the ship's motto is "We Can't Be Afraid of the Wind..." which Jonathan Archer was noted after his vessel departed Qo'nos for its mission for Human exploration of the galaxy.
NCC 44278
The first starship to be named Archer was an Excelsior class starship. In 2379 the vessel was part of Battle Group Omega to assist the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 – E in fighting the Reman warbird Scimitar.
In 2382 command of the vessel was transferred to newly promoted Captain Tom Paris. The vessel participated in making first contact with the Arc’kerians as well serving as the ship to meet with the Tzenkethi for a diplomatic mission.
The Archer was destroyed in combat against the Borg in 2391 as it attempted to escort Romulan vessels to Earth.
NCC 44278-A
The second starship was an Explorer Class starship and was commanded by Captain Andrew Hayden, the previous' Archer's XO. The vessel was heavily involved with the Borg War and was destroyed while attempting to get supplies to Tellar in 2395.
NCC 44278-B
The third ship named Archer was a Sovereign Class vessel and command was given to Rear Admiral Tom Paris in 2397. Again like its predesscor this ship took an active role in the Borg war. It led the Federation Alliance fleet in repelling the Borg invasion in sector 441, the Briar Patch. During the Battle of Sol the Archer destroyed a number of the small Borg vessels and survived the battle. The ship is currently the flagship for Admiral Paris and is commanded by Captain Icheb.
