If destroyed in combat, each Wingman will automatically rejoin the player after a short lockout period has passed.

Notes[]
- The Vanguard Carrier was released as issue #8 in the Star Trek Online Starships Collection.
- This ship launches hangar pets sideways due to a bug, causing the pets to be unresponsive for 1-2 seconds.
- Vanguard Gunboats hangar pets that come with this ship do not respond to Carrier Commands.
- Dampen Energy Signatures trait puts the ship into Red Alert state. This prevents the Mask Energy Signature, an ability that triggers this trait from being used.
