Our Ships
The San Francisco Task Force is made up of the USS Golden Gate, USS Angel, USS NewFoundland and the 49th MSG Marines with their support ships, Aerowing Alcatraz and Aerowing Farallones. These are modelled after ships within the Trek Universe. The fictional mission of the USS Golden Gate is Diplomacy, Medical Aid and Military support. In the real world the Task Force is how the USS Golden Gate members have fun, celebrate Star Trek™ and Science Fiction, support their community, promote safety and neighborhood preparedness, and inspire our younger members through fan events and education.
