Home-ported at Starbase 22 in the Davlos Sector, this vessel has been involved in many border skirmishs with Klingon attack groups in the lead up to and as part of the Second Klingon-Federation war in 2267, also known as the "Organian Conflict".
As part of the 227th Patrol Group, the Kusanagi, along with the Baton Rouge-class cruiser U.S.S. Tamarr NCC-1571 and the Saladin-class destroyer U.S.S. Ares NCC-524, were forced to engage a D6 cruiser and two F5 frigates as they violated the border. The Federation vessels succeded in heavily damaging the D6, but during the engagement the frigate Kusanagi was knocked out of the fight with a hit to the bridge, and the Tamarr was also badly damaged.
Subsequent to this battle, the ship was repaired and Lt. Cdr. Karen McCafferty, formerly of the Saladin-class destroyer U.S.S. Jugurtha NCC-527, was given command. The 227th Patrol Group was disbanded and reformed as the 227th Frigate Squadron, to which the Kusanagi assigned. In one of the opening battles of the Organian Conflict this squadron was routed and the Kusanagi was the sole survivor. Reassigned again to the hurriedly-formed Task Group 22.34, the frigate also participated in the defeat of that group, as they encountered two squadrons of Klingon E4-class escorts. These Klingons destroyed the Constitution-class heavy cruiser USS Androcus and, taking the loss of two of their number in their stride, looked to destroy the other vessels as well before the Organian Intervention.
This ship has been marked as a jinx because of these events, and it became subsequently apparent that the command structure aboard was shaky at best. However, after interviews with the senior officers and crew, Starfleet Sector Command has confirmed their readiness for duty. As a result of this—and the need for more ships to combat the Penzance Cartel's increased opertions in Sector 19-L—Kusanagi has been removed from front-line Klingon border defense duty and been reassigned to the 233rd Frigate Squadron on anti-piracy patrol several parsecs behind the Federation's border with the Romulan Star Empire.
Vessel assigned to the 233rd Frigate Squadron, home-ported at Starbase Twenty-three. Current mission is anti-piracy patrol.
