Missing Ships in TOS

I wonder how many missing ships there are in TOS?
The SS Valiant from WNMHGB, The Antares from Charlie X, The USS Archon from Return of The Archons, The USS Valiant from Taste of Armageddon, The USS Constellation from The Doomsday Machine, The USS Faragut from Obsession in name only, The USS Horizon from Piece of The Action, The USS Intrepid from The Immunity Syndrome, The USS Exeter from The Omega Glory, The Woden from The Ultimate Computer, The SS Beagle from Bread and Circuses, The USS Defiant from The Tholian Web, Plus the odd shuttlecraft and vehicles too...Can anyone else think of any other vessels?

Yeah, quite a few of those ships we learn their eventual fate.

A missing ship is like the Horizon from "A Piece Of The Action" because we never learned its fate after it left Iotia.

Most of those ships aren't "missing," as their fates are known. Perhaps you just meant "destroyed?"

That doesn't make the Horizon missing either. Just because we don't know whether the Horizon completed its mission normally, that doesn't mean that Starfleet considers it "missing," obviously.

Certainly not the impression I got from the episode.
 
Oops, my bad. Dialog:

KIRK: Yes. Unfortunately, the Horizon was lost with all hands shortly after leaving your planet. We only received her radio report last month.

But that is not "we never learned its fate after it left Iotia." I should have checked before posting.
