<p class="MsoNormal">The IKC <i>Bortas,</i> a <i>Vor'cha</i>-class attack cruiser,<i>
</i>conveyed Captain Picard's request for Klingon assistance at Nelvana III when the
<i>Enterprise-D</i> investigated reports of a secret Romulan base. (TNG "The Defector") The
<i>Bortas</i> later served as Gowron's flagship during the Klingon civil war of 2367-68 and Worf served as weapons officer aboard her during the early part of that conflict. (TNG "Redemption I")<br>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And two centuries earlier the Klingon ship <i>Vor’Tas,</i> under the command of a Captain Duras, was crippled by the
<i>Enterprise </i>in 2152. Captain Archer was captured and put on trial on the Narendra III outpost for conspiring against the Klingon Empire and fomenting revolt. (ENT "Judgment")

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In John Ford's novel "The Final Reflection", there is the equivalent of a Klingon television series named "Battlecruiser Vengeance". Memory Beta gives an introductory summary of the show:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in">
<p class="MsoNormal">It featured the adventures of Klingon Captain Koth of the Vengeance, in conflict with alien races such as Humans, Romulans and Kinshaya and others, and trying to capture their ships. Koth was always triumphant, and each episode ended with
him being asked who he was by those he had captured, and answering "I am Captain Koth. Koth of the Vengeance. And this ship is my prize."<o:p></o:p></p>
