USS Bishop

Commissioned on Stardate 61619.2 (August 14, 2384), the USS Bishop was named after the famed Hawaiian philanthropist Bernice Pauahi Bishop for her support of education in the Hawaiian Islands during the 19th century. The Bishop became one of the first Flyer-class shuttles to enter Starfleet service after revisions were made on the original design plans produced by Lt. Tom Paris during his trip to the Delta Quadrant aboard USS Voyager. The shuttle was originally assigned to Starbase 62 to be used as an auxiliary craft for specialized missions near the rimward border of the Federation.

On Stardate 64665.7 (September 1, 2387), the Bishop was reassigned to Starfleet Headquarters to be used by Admiral Tricia Danielson as a personal shuttle in association with her duties with Starfleet Operations. When Admiral Danielson took command of the USS Starspeed, she arranged for the shuttle to be reassigned to the starship to allow her to continue using it.
