I have a cap, yes, but for some reason it is not possible to upload it. Don't ask why...
On Ex Astris Scientia you can read (in the starship section) that there is an Akira class starship with the reg NCC - 63646. Not to be confused with the Thunderchild (NCC - 63647). Maybe it is this one?

I'm fairly certain that Mojo confirmed that they never bothered altering the Akira's reg number from the Thunderchild's original image maps, throughout the run of DS9.

I agree with a 63xxx as reg. The fourth digit looks like a 4 to me, not like a 2. And the third and fifth digit could be anything like 5,6,8 or 9.
Unfortunately, in this case it could be the reg of the Thunderchild. Would this be a contradiction? Did we saw the destruction of the Thunderchild in First Contract or in any other episode of DS9 (Thunderchild identified by reg)?
Mayby we now have the "proof" that the Thunderthild eventually was destroyed during this battle.

I don't think shots like this can count as proof of an individual ships destruction. Or even that it existed. The number was never changed, and was never meant to be seen closely. If the model dudes have made an effort to change the registry on a CGI or physical model, then we can assume that said ship is what it's labelled as (for instance, the Venture). But if it hasn't been changed, then it's just a random ship. Unless all those Excelsior class ships the Enterprise-D kept meeting really were the Hood, and the Captain just lied about the name.

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.

But in this case you can (almost) see the reg of the Akira! And you can see its destruction very clearly.
I know that we saw other Akira under fire and some of them were serious damaged, too, but since we can't read their reg, it doesn't matter.
The same thing with the "hoodish" Excelsiors. Even if the model was labeled so, it was not visible on the screen. So we don't have a contradicion, when a captain named it .
