That thing sticking out would be a good place to put foward torpedo launchers since the Intrepid saucer only has aft launchers.

The Intrepid has two forward torp launchers, just above the navigational deflector, but never mind, that doesn't matter anymore ------------------ So small, so innocent, so young, so delicately done, grown up in your poison.

We all know that the Intrepid Class houses the forward torpedo's in the secondary hull! But since that part is missing on the Yeager Class, we were looking for another good spot. And I think we found it.
As for the aft topedo launchers, they are on the saucer section, so that means they didn't have to put that somewhere else on the Yeager Class.

Parkesh: Sorry about that, I didn't want to sound rude.
Anyway, I always thought that the Yeager Class was somekind of cargo ship, until I realised that the Federation has those nice 'block' ships as cargo ships. So what type of ship do you think the Yeager Class would be?

If we use WWII analogies, she's yet another cruiser (a light cruiser, preferably) tasked with escort duties, scouting and the like but not supposed to be very powerful in battle. She's probably fast like her near-sister Intrepid, and lightly armed.
If we don't use WWII analogies, then the sky's the limit. Depending on how Rick Sternbach decides to designate the Voyager when the time for that comes, the Yeager should be of the same designation. With possibly a "light" prefix to account for the lost secondary hull .

That "thing" sticking out under the saucer is the front part of the Maquis Raider model they stuck on the butt of the Voyager model's saucer. That diagram is not accurate much like most of the diagrams in the DS9 Tech Man.
Fabrux: Yeah, I know the Intrepid comes complete with a secondary nev def on the front part of the saucer (this could be used as the Yeager's main nav def). I just thought it would be nice to customize =)

The USS Constellation mentioned in the episode when the Honshu was destroyed could be the Constellation Class ship which is mentioned in the Star Trek Encyclopedia III.
I could be wrong but it seems unlikely that this ship would still be in service after 90 years but then again the USS Excelsior is still around

In the star trek encyclopedia its been speculated that the Constellation mentioned is the Constellation Class ship but that means its been in service for over 80 years. This seems very unlikely but then again many of the excelsior class ships are still in service such as the USS Excelsior.

A USS Excelsior was mentioned in "Interface", and most people believe it is the Excelsior Class Prototype.

However the excelsior is not the oldest ship in the fleet since the gettysburg is also in service(we assume its the constellation class vessel). However the oldest is the uss republic (constitution class refit) and its a cadet training ship but rarely leaves the sol system.
