No majorly important ships, anyway. But then he's had a lot of things named after him.
If I'm not mistaken, Voyager had a shuttlecraft called Cochrane, that made a pretty (in)famous flight.
There were two starships named Cochrane.
USS Cochrane (NCC-59318)
The USS Cochrane (NCC-59318) was a 24th century Federation Oberth-class starship operated by Starfleet. In 2367, the Cochrane served as a transport for retired Admiral Norah Satie during her visit to the USS Enterprise-D in order to investigate a case of possible Romulan espionage. (TNG: "The...

Oh, good. Then it's just my memory failing and not a terrible oversight by the writers.There were two starships named Cochrane.

I got to be honest, an Oberth class ship named after someone as important to Trek history as Zephram Cochrane seems a bit odd. You'd think he'd rate at least a Nebula class ship.
I’m not sure Cochrane had the same cachet in the lore before First Contact out-of-universe.
I might have Nebula’s named after naval figures like Nimitz.
Oberth is a very futuristic looking craft—so it is a good fit.
Don’t forget FASA’s version.

I think I would've rather it been an oversight.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want my memory to get so bad that I forget Lt. Leonard Thomas Rozhenko captained the U.S.S.R. Farragut Q, but I'm happy at least some of the countless Trek writers didn't forget to name SOMETHING after such an in-universe famous man and that I just forgot it or didn't realize it.
Unless one was being used to test new engines for new starship designs...
