ALL EXCELSIOR CLASS SCENES: STAR TREK 3-7, TNG, DS9, VOYAGER

A tribute to Starfleet's most successful, majestic and time-proven design - the Excelsior class - also known as "The Queen of Space", "The Great Experiment" and "the Super-Starship." 87 years in service and still looking great and kicking ass. In the late 24th century, this ship still represents the bulk of the fleet. A notable mention to Admiral Hansen's USS Melbourne for being the Federation's flagship during the Wolf 359 massacre. The tech upgrades as seen on the USS Lakota easily makes these ships more than a match for the newer starship designs and surely guarantees another century of flawless service. The new CBS Trek series could've given this class of starship another chance at glory had it been set in the post-TMP, pre-TNG era. But with over 60-odd appearances on the large and small screen, Excelsior class ships have been given FAR more screen time than any other non-hero starships.
