What do you mean by "can't get the ship?" Rattler just linked you to the class of ship to which the C.U.V. Tain belongs, which is available in the C-Store. Buy it. Fly it. You'll also get another Admiralty Card for it.

We have Admiralty Cards for each class, and then we have the NAMED ship cards, that have better stats. I don't see people complaining about not flying the Rhode Island, Sally Ride, Zdenia, or any of the other epic quality cards we have.
There are 2 different card games inside STO. One uses DOFF cards....Those assignments are based on sending officers on your ship to different duties.
The other uses Admiralty cards....Those assignment are based on sending the ships you own in your personal ship dock to different missions. This is what the Tain card is for.
To fly a ship in the video game part of STO, you have to acquire the playable ship. Though, acquiring a playable ship, it comes with a card to add to your Admiralty card deck.
But the special cards acquired for completion of various objectives....are just tied to a reward for that objective. Not to an actual playable ship.

I've been off of STO for the past few years, just recently came back not sure what's changed since then. I thought the card was redeemable for a free ship.
Ah! Well, Admiralty is like DOFFing, except with ships. Every ship in your roster gets you a card. Reclaim C-Store ships that you've bought to get more cards. Some missions reward special ship cards, like the C.U.V. Tain. Welcome back!

There are other gold quality Admiralty Cards, such as the VSS Tanius, ISS Stadi, USS Sally Ride, and USS Pastak, but they are not tied to Admiralty Progression.
The USS Sally Ride is available by contacting an NPC in Sector Space. VSS Tanius is in the Phoenix Box, ISS Stadi NEEDS to be in the Phoenix Box now, USS Pastak is available as a mission reward in... I wanna say Temporal Arc.
The Federation ToD reward of 2 Spec Points is nerfed to 5,760 Dilitium if you are maxed on Spec Points.

Generally speaking, admiralty is the most time efficient way to get many of the in game resources plus heaps of XP. Unfortunately it isn't the most fun aspect of gameplay.
But since you "only" get one admiralty card per ship you own, getting more cards to be able to do more missions or at least more missions properly is always helpful. And stat wise, the Epic cards are top tier, way above any "real" ship. So while not all abilities are that useful (the CUV Tain being somewhat lacklustre but still okay-ish) they are a welcome addition to any set, even if you already have 100 ships in the roster. And for players with fewer ships, they are almost invaluable in doing admiralty.
So while having an actual ship is nice, these cards are really valuable in their own right.
My mother was an epohh and my father smelled of tulaberries
When I first came back to the game slightly after the admiralty ships were introduced, I was equally confused. I kept looking to see where these ships would be so I could actually fly them. Quickly learned the ins and outs, and I really actually like the system.

The admirality is one those things that is massively boring if you do it as replacement for missions/TFOs, but isn't that bad if you do like it's suppose to be done, aka as addition to those previously mentioned aspects of the game. Same with DOFF missions really.
That said if you need resources fast(but not right at this moment) admirality is generally one of the more efficient ways of doing that. As if you got decent enough cards and pick your missions carefully you can easily get good amount of EC, Dil or GPL within 20 hours or so at latest.
If they had the autofill like Doff Assignments it would be a nice QoL addition.

But then it would probably only go for the minimum needed to complete. What if you have a 10/10/10 and wanna go for a Crit? Or it might just put in a ship you might need for the ToD 10/10 assignment that you were planning for next.
Then you change a ship out. In many cases you can let it go. Remember when autofill on Doff first came out it would try to maximize Crit even though it would would let Failure or Disaster creep up in percentage. Then they toned that down.

I... wouldn't know. I haven't actually done any DOffing for a while. Only one I really focus on is Diplomacy for the Transwarps. Other than that the rewards feel... like I'm just getting pennies honestly. Admiralty feels more rewarding when you see things that give 500 DL vs maybe 50 from DOffing.

Wait, then whats the reason for getting the card if I can't get the ship?
Also it's a weird card because it's best stat is Eng, but it's classified as a science ship.

This brings up the Admiralty window and you choose assignments to do.
Do the Tour of Duty missions to eventually receive some nice dil and rewards. There are ten of them for each faction.
Admiralty Track ToD rewards:
Admiralty Track lv 10 rewards:

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
