I was wondering,
From the TV episodes of Startrek can anyone remember the names of other
starships (besides the Enterprise) that were mentioned on the show.
I know of a few: The Lexington, The Excaliber, The Concord?

U.S.S. Hood NCC-1703 featured in "The Ultimate Computer"
U.S.S. Intrepid NCC-1631 mentioned in "Court-martial"
destroyed in "The Immunity Syndrome"
U.S.S. Lexington NCC-1709 featured in "The Ultimate Computer"

U.S.S. Potemkin NCC-1702 featured in "The Ultimate Computer"
mentioned in "Turnabout Intruder"
U.S.S. Republic NCC-1373 mentioned in "Court-martial"
U.S.S. Yorktown NCC-1717 mentioned in "Obsession"
There are other sources which disagree with the list of names, numbers, and
status of each starship of the Constitution (heavy cruiser) class. The
blueprints and Technical Manual put together by Franz Joseph do not mention
Defiant, do not list Excalibur as destroyed, and added both Kongo and the
Valiant (destroyed). Also, the numbers are different for all starships
except for Constellation, Constitution, Enterprise, and Republic. The only
ships named Valiant in "Star Trek" were mentioned in "Where No Man Has Gone
Before" (200 years previous) and "A Taste of Armageddon" (50 years earlier)
but these were not starships of the same class at all. I believe this dates
back to the original Star Trek Writer's Guide (see the beginning of Part II
of Stephen Whitfield's "The Making of Star Trek") but it's easy to see now
why this other list is discredited.

The StarFleet Technical Manual (SBN 345-24730-2-695) lists what
are apparently the original Starships (called `Heavy Cruiser Class')
as:
Constellation NCC-1017 Intrepid NCC-1708
Constitution NCC-1700 Kongo NCC-1710
Enterprise NCC-1701 Lexington NCC-1703
Exeter NCC-1706 Potempkin NCC-1711
Farragut NCC-1702 Republic NCC-1371
Hood NCC-1707 Valiant NCC-1709
Yorktown NCC-1704
It goes on to list others (a few dozen!) which were authorized to
be built at later Stardates, including:
Constellation II NCC-1712 Intrepid II NCC-1730
Farragut II NCC-1729 Valiant II NCC-1731
(Later Starship names show a greater diversity of `ethnic' -- ie,
non-Earth, non-USA -- names).
