When activated, this equipment emitted a violent dampening wave that damaged nearby hostile vessels and gave off radiation. In cooperation with the Klingon Defense Force and the Romulan Republic Navy, the three science-oriented dreadnought classes Yorktown, Gorkon-class battlecruiser, and Flambard-class dreadnought warbird were equipped with the dampening wave emitter. It became the prototype of the Yorktown-class science star cruiser. The Yorktown was rebuilt into a science-oriented star cruiser and recommissioned as the USS Yorktown (NCC-98300). The Starfleet Corps of Engineers recovered the wrecks.

( STO - The Iconian War mission: " Midnight", STO reference: Jayce's Interstellar) The Yorktown was destroyed and its sister ship USS Enterprise heavily damaged in the battle. The ship participated in the Second Battle of Earth in the year 2410.

In the 2400s decade, the USS Yorktown (NCC-97005) was an Odyssey-class star cruiser.
