On Wil Wheaton's "The Ready Room," the Titan is described as "a starship that shares its name with his first command." So, since TRR is an official Paramount+ production, can we accept this as additional canon evidence that the Titan-A is a brand-new vessel?
(I'm okay with the notion that Riker commanded the Titan-A for a time, explaining Shaw's line about purging his music from the computer; and also explains Riker's line about "smells brand new" because the Titan-A would've come through a full refit including a new bridge module).

Also, why would he need to purge music from the computer? New command of a starship isn't like giving your niece your old laptop & you gotta make hundo-P certain it's porn-free.

Except actual dialogue and the head honchos say otherwise.

The ship identified as the Azetbur actually has "Gorkon" written on the hull.
Spike: Star Trek has a long and proud history of ignoring spoken dialogue. For example, Data is not a member of the Class of '78.

I suppose I should be annoyed that they’re doubling down on the STO ships’ further canonisation, but the hell with it, whatever. It’s not like we’ll ever see the bloody things again after about two months from now.
Unless they get the spin-off/continuation they’re frantically dropping so many hints about, that is… which is probably already a done deal, they’re just leaving us hanging, making us think some key characters might get deaded.

Indeed. And as Dukhat has pointed out over at TrekBBS the information provided by Blass doesn't exactly match another VFX-guy's tweet. The Mushashi is also incorrectly labelled (USS Pachacuti NCC-74181). The Shras has the Reliant's registry. I'll let the guys at MA hash it out.

Good luck with that. Since even Bernd has managed to get blocked by him, you'll probably end up with a restraining order.
