Since most of the stuff we�ll talk about has been brought up, let�s move on. I�ve taken the issues from the previous thread and compiled them in the list below. Let me know if there�s anything else to add, or if any of these need explanation (some are obscure). Remember, the point of all this is to talk about commonly argued-about things, whether there be a contradiction in canon or just little-known facts that have to be presented to the world.
- Excelsior-class Lexington - Apollo design - Yamato registry - New Orleans-class/City of New Orleans-class - 1700 Constitution: class ship? - Melbourne registry - Curry/Shelley registry - Shenandoah registry - Raman registry - Ganda/er spelling - Br*ttain spelling - Jenol*n spelling - Bozeman: still in use? - Constellation: still in use? - Excelsior: still in use? - Carolina: class? - Mayflower: exists? - Discovery: exists? - Trial: exists? - Studio models (Leeds/Trinculo/Valkyrie) - Admiral Hanson's ship/ships - Ent-A: Yorktown? - Intrepid commissioning date - Low registry ships (Akiras, Phoenix, etc.) - Phantom Oberth Grissom - Registry of Fearless - Number of Galaxies
There�s also some general stuff which probably needs to be covered in more than just a paragraph, and may be beyond the scope of the planned page. If these will be included, only the general gist of the problem(s) will need to be presented.
- Class ships' names being reused - Lifespan of Mirandas, Oberths, Excelsiors, etc. - Meaning of NCC, USS, etc. (or lack thereof) - Attack-fighters

How about the length of the Defiants, Frank?
------------------ I still need help with getting a new sig. file, but I have two days of class left, then three days of finals, WOOHOO! Now, if I could just my girl to lighten up a bit.

Hey Charles, ya think that just for like a week, you could put in a new forum that is just about the length of the Defiant and let me moderate it?

Some comments- 1. USS Shenandoah Why is the registry of this ship in dispute? The registry was clearly shown. 2. USS Cochranes There are two USS Cochranes supposedly-NCC 8000 ("The Drumhead", "The Game") and NCC-59318 ("Emissary"). How is this to be explain? (I am curious-how many of the readers have actually read the ST:TNG Companion.) 3. The original class of the USS Trieste In an Okudagram from the fourth year (published in issue 16 of the ST:TNG Collector's edition published by Starlog), the class of the USS Trieste is Yosemite. This same okudagram gives the registry of the USS Fearless as NCC-14598. 4. USS Gettysburg Is the Constellation Class ship still in service in 2375 ("Treachery, Faith, and the Great River")? Thank you, Trinculo

Remind me about the Jenol*n. I saw "Relics" recently and the Okudagram definitely said Jenolan. I didn't see a name on the model. . . is this just because the Encyclopedia spelt it Jenolen?
And does either spelling of the name mean anything to anyone?

There is quite obviously still a Bozeman in use. There is no way to tell if it is actually the one seen in "Cause and Effect" besides resorting to speculation for or against.

My thread about changing ship names has set a train of thought in action. . . I wonder: assuming the Prometheus' registry is truly intentional and it's been in development a long time, could the project have been so secret that a Nebula-class USS Prometheus was commissioned in ignorance? And then, for all we know, it could have been renamed when the actual Prometheus-class prototype was rolled out. . . something to consider.

The TNG Tech Manual states that while the prototype of the Galaxy class was under construction, she was only refered to as 'NX-70637', and that she didn't have a name yet. It's always been my thought that the name isn't 'officially' given until the ship is commisioned. Remember, the old champaign bottle hitting a ship just as she is launched?
