This week; HMS Bounty, Klingon K'Vort Class. Renamed for Star Trek IV The Voyage Home, released 26 November 1986.
In 2285, the commander and crew of the late Starship Enterprise captured a Klingon Bird of Prey, while in orbit above the Genesis Planet. Under new command, the Bird of Prey left orbit as the unstable planet exploded and traveled to Vulcan. It was there, during a three month period of exile, the ship was named with a nod to historical irony.
The Bird of Prey departed for Earth, only to be informed a probe of alien origin was causing environmental havoc to Earth. The crew, deducing the probe's intentions, traveled back and time, collected two humpback whales, then traveled forward in time, so a response to the probe could be made.
When the Bird of Prey arrived back to the correct time, it was caught in the same effect as other starships, losing power. Unlike the other starships, the Bird of Prey returned inside the atmosphere and was crashing to the Earth. Narrowly missing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Bird of Prey made a water landing in the bay. The whales were freed from the sinking ship and the crew was rescued.
It is unknown if the ship sunk to the bottom or was later salvaged by Starfleet Intelligence.
