[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]We know the Mayflower was duplicated. I can confirm this. Check out 1202 and 1208 from TrekCore.[/QUOTE]While that may be true, the wreckage CGI would be a different model than the intact ship CGI models; however, that wouldn't preclude that they'd have the same names if the same person built both models. [QUOTE]I would say that the Excelsior and the Defiant were backup names, and the ships in the film bore the names Newton, Mayflower, and Armstrong.[/QUOTE]For lack of better evidence, I'm starting to agree with that assessment as well. That would explain why the Excelsior and Defiant were different colors on the ship chart. My theory is that the VFX personnel probably felt "Excelsior" and "Defiant" were too ingrained with Star Trek III and Deep Space Nine, and they wanted new names for the ships that hadn't been used previously, along with registry numbers that were subtle nods to the ship names. However, the scriptwriters had their own ship names (without registry numbers) which probably didn't correspond to the VFX guys' models, as Mim speculated. In other words, don't go looking to see which ship was the Antares or the Truman, because they weren't labeled as such. Either way, I think we can at least state that the three new designs can safely be associated as the "Armstrong-type," the "Newton-type," and the "Mayflower-type" (along with the Kelvin-type and Kobayashi Maru-type). So... [b]Ships mentioned in the script[/b] 1. Newton 2. Odyssey 3. Farragut 4. Wolcott 5. Hood 6. Antares 7. Truman [b]CGI ships' names and registry numbers[/b] 1. Newton NCC-1727 (year of Newton's death) 2. Mayflower NCC-1621 (a year after the Mayflower reached Plymouth) 3. Armstrong NCC-1769 (1969 being the year of the moon landing; since 1969 would have been too high of a registry number it was changed to 1769) So Ayel's statement about seven ships was correct per the script, not the names on the CGI models.
