During the 2360s, the USS Bradbury was still undergoing warp drive performance tests and serving as a transport to Earth from Betazed in late 2366. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi", "Brothers", "Chain of Command, Part I" production art)

Apocrypha
The unused USS Voyager design concept
A ship description was mentioned in the supplements to the Last Unicorn Games role-playing games, which refer to this vessel as being a 335-meter-long heavy frigate in service from 2362, with ten decks, and describes it as being similar to the unfilmed Intrepid-class prototype designed during pre-production of Star Trek: Voyager.
