Excellent find, but the OP specifies being shown on screen.Kevin Flynn– Kevin Flynn2025-05-06 15:31:37 +00:00Commented May 6, 2025 at 15:31

@JohnP - I did turn up this episode and quote myself while doing research in preparation for my answer, and, in hindsight, I probably should have included it in my answer just in case it was of interest, but as you suggest, while the Klingons were indicated to have cloaking tech here, it isn't an example of them actually using it, so it doesn't strictly meet the criteria of what the OP asked for.LogicDictates– LogicDictates2025-05-06 15:42:33 +00:00Commented May 6, 2025 at 15:42

1Despite the technicality this is a more useful bit of information as STIII was presumed even in the question - its just surprising to late fans and nu-trek writers that klingons were not synonymous with cloaks once. Whereas this ties in with Deep Space 9 when Kor was bragging about installing the new technology on his ship IKS Klothos - which was a direct TAS reference. TAS does push back the date both in and out-universe for the association. Besides can you really see a cloak? :-)lucasbachmann– lucasbachmann2025-05-06 18:33:54 +00:00Commented May 6, 2025 at 18:33

@JohnP- even so, this came before the movie, so I'd count it.Nu'Daq– Nu'Daq2025-05-06 18:43:51 +00:00Commented May 6, 2025 at 18:43

1KOR: The battle was over almost before the Federation knew it had begun. I commanded the first division from the Klothos, one of the old D Five cruisers. Kang commanded the second division. Now, you must remember that in those days, the cloaking device was a new piece of technology. There were only a handful of engineers in the Imperial Fleet who knew how to operate them. Before we left Chronos, I spent three days in the engine room taking the device apart with my bare hands and then putting it back together again. Now this would come in handy later in the battle, as you'll see.lucasbachmann– lucasbachmann2025-05-06 20:51:23 +00:00Commented May 6, 2025 at 20:51

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
