Watching the Hawking again, it's nacelles are in fact identical to the ones in STV. There are no bussard collectors or anything, and they are just rectangular shaped.
On the discussion of Sydneys, watched "Trials And Tribble-ations" today, and the upside-down Sydney that carries the temporal agents has it's name on the back. It wasn't clear enough to read the name, but the name is definatly just 4 letters. This fits perfectly with the USS Nash we saw labeled. Of course, we have no clue what the registry reads (hopefully not NCC-2010 or NCC-2010-B!)

Maybe it's in tribute to the 'lost' Jenolen which was the ship that Montogomery "Scotty" Scott disappeared on? And since Kirk died on the E-B... there was already going to be a 'tribute' to that ship... the E-C.

Seems a rather morbid way of "honoring" either Scott or the ship, though.
"..And so we register this new vessel to show how much we appreciate the older vessel that so valiantly disappeared with Captain Scott on board, so that we never saw him again..."
"..And so we like to commemorate our fallen hero by perpetuating the registry of the ship that sailed him to his doom..."

Veers: I didn't mean to be pissy way back there on page 1. I was just trying to explain what I meant.
I would agree that these large shuttles had to have come from the Farragut, The other two ships would be too small.
As for the Runabout issue. It's very clear that Danubes are independant starships. They have names and unique registries. However, it's also clear that they seem to always be attached to something. A starbase or a starship. I've always been of the mindset that starbases and larger starships carry runabouts as large auxilary crafts though they are in fact starships in themselves.
I guess the same could be true for these large shuttles, but the lack of obvious warp nacelles seems to preclude that (and, no, sticking pieces of galaxy class nacelles on the model doesn't automatically make them nacelles )

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
