    You mean the Potemkin? She was seen in the TOS episode The Ultimate Computer and listed on the plans for Operation: Retrieve in The Undiscovered Country.

    I don’t know how else that TAS episode relates to the quotes I just pulled out of my ass to make a quick joke.

    Also, by the time of Voyager, a USS Potemkin would no longer be a Constitution-class starship.

      From Memory Alpha:

      Captain’s log, Supplemental. We have arranged to get the strobolin needed to save Mr. Spock’s life. The starship Potemkin has already picked up the drug and will transfer it to a freighter, the SS Huron for delivery to the Enterprise.

      The episode is literally about the Potemkin making a transfer of drugs to the Enterprise. Lucked into a solid reference, my friend.
