[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] A few random remarks that could be helpful. 1) TNG appears to portray several (or all?) [i]Mirandas[/i] as transports or other unglamorous types. They usually have small crews, and are apparently not the heavily armed frigates (although that's a fan designation) of yesteryear. 2) If you are assuming that it was launched in the 2340s, there could be any random bureacratic reason for its (too low?) number. Maybe, being a low life transport, construction was already planned for years earlier, and as such the registry number was assigned long before she was launched. I personally don't believe in strictly chronological NCCs. In TOS, they are sequentially assigned to ships within a class. In "Okudan" times, starting around the turn of the century, registries get assigned more haphazardly, and possibly around this time the numbers get inflated by a reshuffling of runabout-types and other minor ships into the NCC domain.
