Then the ships faded and vanished, as if they had never been.

This ship vanishes, and that's the end of star travel.

The ships, their crews, his brother, everything and everyone, had simply vanished.

They gaped as the ship vanished suddenly into the night.

It was as though everyone on board the ship had vanished in a puff of smoke.

He stared into the west, where the ship had vanished.

Suddenly, both wake and ship vanished, leaving only the heat lines across the western sky.

Again the strange ship had vanished, this time with more than a bay to hide her.

He was still staring out to sea, toward the spot where the ship had vanished.

Kirk knew that ships vanished all the time in space, but not a ship doing a mission for him.
