[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Hold on a minute, I'm confused here. Let's see if I have my facts straight. Canonically, here's the list of on-screen Klingon ships (not counting Birds of Prey, Vor'cha, etc.) 1. The original TOS battlecruiser, which was never given an on-screen name or class. 2. The TMP Klingon battlecruiser, which was never given an on-screen class. This ship was used again in TWOK, TNG, & DS9. 3. The Klingon battlecruiser featured in "Trials & Tribble-ations," which was canonically referred to as a D-7. 4. The Klingon battlecruiser featured in both that final-season Voyager episode, and "Unexpected" which is a CGI model, I believe (not sure about this one). I don't remember if a class was given in the Voyager ep, but it wasn't given in the Enterprise ep. So, here's my take as to why the ship we saw in Enterprise looks more advanced than the ships we see in TOS: Because the TOS ships were D-4's! (Or any combination of the letter D with a number less than 7). The "Unexpected" ship could have been brand spanking new for all we know, and during TOS, the Klingons could still have been flying older model ships. It just happened that the only TOS Klingon ships we saw were very old ones. It would also explain why the Klingons traded their older ships to the Romulans, instead of their top-of-the-line D-7's. [i]Note: I realize that my theory goes against fandom and Encyclopedia speculation that the TOS ships were D-7's. I'm just going by canon facts & trying to find a reasonable solution.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
