USS Archer was the prototype and lead ship of the Archer-class scouts that were on active duty in Starfleet during the mid-23rd century. (Star Trek: Vanguard novels: Harbinger, Reap the Whirlwind)
By 2289, this Archer would either be destroyed, go missing or be removed from active duty, as an Akyazi-class perimeter action ship USS Archer would be commissioned in that year. (Ships of the Star Fleet, vol. 2)
