[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] The only problem is that, even though Roddenberry and Okuda support the fact that it was the renamed USS Yorktown, the movie depicted the USS Yorktown being stranded in space shortly before the crew arrived on Earth. With a full crew, Captain, etc. Did they just tow them in, tell Captain Randolph, his first officer, chief engineer, security chief, surgeon, helmsman and communications officer to take a hike because some new guys deserved this ship more? How would the remaining few hundred crewpoeple feel about sucha random decision by the Federation council. I know some my argue that politics and military assignments arent always fair, this seems a little extreme to displace 7 officers and repaint their ship as a political favor. Seems more likely that the Yorktown, presumably the same refit old one from TOS was retired (being a similar age and design to the already retired 1701-no suffix) and a new one was being built and just renamed before it was launched. Renaming an old ship seems like bad karma. Unless Okuda was wrong, and it IS a refit, but of another vessel besides the Yorktown renamed. This would explain why it was quickly decommissioned five years later [/QB][/QUOTE]
