Background information
The USS Cochrane was named after the inventor of warp drive on Earth, Zefram Cochrane.
The name USS Cochrane has never been legible on screen on the model. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion first revealed that the ship was named USS Cochrane and according to Star Trek Encyclopedia it was also the Cochrane that transported Dax and Bashir to Deep Space 9 in "Emissary". In the script of "The Drumhead", the Cochrane was only called a smaller ship and a Federation craft. [1] With the following appearance in "The Game", the unscripted vessel, was only referred to as a shuttle, and represented by stock footage from "The Drumhead".
The registry was clearly visible in the remastered version of "The Drumhead". The name and registry were finally officially connected in the casuality report screens seen in season 6 episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Apocrypha
According to the novel Survivors, in 2352, the Cochrane discovered the failed Earth colony on Turkana IV. An away team from the ship rescued the young Tasha Yar from a rape gang. According to the novel The Romulan Stratagem, in 2366, the Cochrane performed an unmanned probe survey of the planet Eloh, a 20th century level world severely damaged by an ongoing military conflict.
The Cochrane is also mentioned in the backstory of Star Trek Online, which establishes that in 2396 the vessel's captain and two senior officers were found to be Species 8472 spies and placed under arrest.
