U.S.S. Min'ow

	History:
	The USS Min'ow was a 24th century Federation starship in Starfleet service. Under the command of Captain K.L. Gifford, this starship was due to arrive at Deep Space 9 on stardate 47566.1, in 2370. DS9 "Whispers" The Min'ow was never mentioned or shown; it was simply listed in an okudagram graphic of an arrival roster on a viewscreen. No reason for the starship's odd nomenclature has been noted, but the graphic was also populated by some other in-jokes. A likely explanation for the name is a tribute to the SS Minnow, the ill-fated ship of Gilligan's Island. Text from the Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
