Examples of this include refits to the Saladin-class starships USS Jenghiz and USS Siva, creating the Jenghiz-class and Siva-class starship classes respectively. (Jackill's Starfleet Reference Manual: Ships of the Fleet, vol. 1, 2006 edition)
- Refit refers to the overhauling of a space vessel with updated technologies, most often to extend the useful life of the vessel. The USS Enterprise underwent an extensive, eighteen-month refit completed in the year 2273. (TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: The Motion Picture)
- A refit was the installation of updated equipment aboard a starship. It differed with a retrofit in that the vessel's overall structure was changed during the process. A refit required some form of spacedock. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) During the mid-22nd century, the Romulans modified one of their Warbirds into a drone ship.

(ENT: "The Aenar") In 2260 of the alternate reality, the USS Enterprise was repaired and refitted with a new, wider impulse engine as well as new warp drive components on the fins of the nacelles for her first five-year mission. By 2263, the nacelles were replaced with slightly smaller units and the nacelle pylons were swept back away from the primary hull. (Star Trek Into Darkness; Star Trek Beyond) The original USS Enterprise underwent a major refit beginning in 2270 which essentially turned it into a new vessel. The refit, which required eighteen months in Spacedock, involved changing or reconstructing a majority of the ship's systems, including the weapon's systems and warp drive. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) Following the Enterprise's battle with the USS Reliant, Montgomery Scott informed Admiral Kirk that the refit time required until the ship could be taken out again would be eight weeks, but that he could do it in two. Kirk then noted Scotty's propensity to multiply his repair estimates by a factor of four, to which Scotty replied, "How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?" However, Admiral Harry Morrow stated that there would be no refit of the Enterprise, choosing instead to decommission her and reassign Mr. Scott to the USS Excelsior. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) The USS Enterprise-D underwent a computer refit during its first year (TNG: "Datalore" ) as well as a very extensive refit after the Borg incursion in 2367. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" ) The USS Lakota was refitted in 2372, just before Erika Benteen took command. The refit included upgrades to weapons beyond the norm for an Excelsior-class ship, including quantum torpedoes. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")
