[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alshrim Dax: [QB] Well.. the registries are still paying homage to 'today's' way of doing things. With prototypes, even today, an 'X' is used in the registry. Earth Starfleet | Federation Starfleet. IS still Starfleet and they originate from the same place .. the way they do things will be somewhat the same .. Only difference, the way I see it, is that the Federation includes other worlds that subscribe to a Federation of Planet .. And we must remember here - the Enterpise is the prototype ship using the Warp 4.5 Engine developed by Archer's old man. It would stand to reason, by today's standards, that this ship uses an 'X' in its registery - and being the first of its kind .. the Register Number and the Class number would be the same. Just like the Enterprise Carrier and the Nimitz. Granted they named CVN68 the Nimitz Class - but the Class Number is still CVN68. But I agree - that they should call NX-01 the Enterprise Class. The one thing now.. with all this talk of registery numbers (if you will be patient with me) is that, in today's navy .. the registry number almost describes the ship .. CVN=Carrier Vessel Nuclear, CV=Carrier Vessel, DD=Destroyer, TB=Torpedo Boat, SSK (hunter-killer), SST (training), SC (cruiser), SF (fleet) and SM (minelaying)= All submarine types.. I degress.. So.. if this is the case, then I understood NCC-1701 as being the Naval (Paying homage to Old Earth) Constitution Class 1701 for the USS Enterprise in TOS. Now.. in TNG .. Should the registry not change to reflect it's new designation - NGC-1701. The Enterprise of today - had, once, a different Registry number (CV6) .. when it became nuclear, it receive the new registry (CVN65). And all the other ships in the Federation .. their registries started with NCC. So.. What did NCC stand for in the Ship's Registries? [/QB][/QUOTE]
