USS Biddeford (NCC-0718) was a Federation Newton-type starship operated by Starfleet in the mid-23rd century.
In 2259, the ship was assigned to berth A4 of Starbase 1 when the USS Enterprise departed for its mission to Qo'noS. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Background information[]
The name on the ship was somewhat illegible in the Blu-ray rendering, but was seen slightly more clearly on the high resolution rendering of the CGI model for the cover of Cinefex issue 134.
According to Joseph Gatt (who played Lieutenant 0718), the number 0718 had significance for J.J. Abrams. [1]
The other USS Biddeford as a model
In a deleted scene from Star Trek Into Darkness, the name and registry was also on a model Federation starship that was hung from the office ceiling of Admiral Alexander Marcus. The ship had a prime universe Constitution-class heavy cruiser configuration. The deleted scene first appeared in a release of Into Darkness for the Xbox SmartGlass app, before being included in the Star Trek: The Compendium Blu-ray Disc set.
