The U.S.S. Entente was only mentioned in radio chatter. There is no info for it except for the reg, and the fact that it was a dreadnought. No mission info or anything of the kind was mentioned.
Sorry.
The thing about the Zhukov (Zuhkov) is this: 1. The studio model says NCC-62136 (The name is also spelled (presumably mis-spelled) U.S.S. Zuhkov. 2. The Encyclopedia gives the NCC-62136 in the individual entry for the ship, and on the diagram. The shiplist gives it as NCC-26136. In all cases, it is spelled correctly as Zhukov. 3. Okudagrams from TNG bridge displays have presumably given both registries.*
*A commonly unobserved fact is that when there is a discrepancy between registry numbers as given in individual Encyc entries and the shiplist, it is usually not due to a typo, but due to the fact that both registries have been given in panel displays or other readouts. They are not 'mistakes' per se, but are rather a straight record of what has been shown for each ship. The reader sort of has to choose between one or the other.
In the case of the Zhukov, I choose NCC-62136 as the correct number because it appeared on the studio model, plus it is the predominant registry given by the Encyclopedia, and it was probably given in an Okudagram at some point. And, in a bonus, it supports the theory that I maintain which states that registries are not sequential or chronological.

heh...I remember that picture. I forget why I was trying to look at the USS Trieste. Obviously something concerning it's class.

Oh. I don't have Captain's Chair. But the creators probably just lifted the info from the Encyclopedia. Some official designs for some of those classes would do us some good, though.

I think what happened was the makers of TCC modified the panel to match the info in the Encyc because a lot of Okudagrams contradicted eachother. Anyways, computer games, etc., aren't canon...
The deal with the Trieste is that some early Okudagrams may have assigned her to the Yosemite-class, rather than the now well-established Merced-class.

The display was almost always on in the Conference Room, and was quite viewable a lot of times, except not close enough to see the words clearly.

For the entire 7 years of TNG? What I am trying to do with this is establish what other ships in starfleet were up to & when. I'm not especially bothered if some of the class/registery info is conflicted (that is the norm).

Not the whole seven years. The observation lounge screens were usually black at the start of the series, and only "came on" when someone requested info. Eventually, they got bored of the screensaver (or realised that monitor burn-in no longer existed in the 24th century), and put that ship info chart up. Around season 5 onwards I think.
I do recall one of the injokes from that chart being mentioned in one of the books (possibly the encyclopdia, or compedium). Look at the USS Thomas Paine's mission.

Gee, I hope the Thomas Paine Got away before the planet blew up...
