[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] Thank for that story, Peregrinus. I've always wondered about the confusion that seems to come from the early history of [i]Star Trek[/i]. Now I know. Strangely enough, I really like the way Matt Jefferies decided to have the registry system work. Having NCC reserved for just heavy cruisers makes sense because that's a good deal how the US naval system works (sorry, everyone who's not from the US. It's the only system I'm familiar with). Carriers are CVN/CVAN's and submarines are SSN's and so on. The significance of the number (17th line of cruisers, 1st production model) also seems like a logical way of numbering the ships. The only problem I guess is if a particular line exceeds 100 ships. Would they just makes a couple changes in the design and start the next line of ships? I guess the big question now is why didn't anyone you subsequently follow Jefferies in the position of following the registries know that he had set the system up like this? Did his notes get lost or did no one ever think of calling him up and asking? [/QB][/QUOTE]
