SoundEffect has just sent me a pic confirming that the registry of the oft-seen U.S.S. Nash (DS9's "upside-down" Sydney) is indeed NCC-2010-5 and not NCC-2010-B. According to him, it's a higher-resolution scan of the same model pic we've seen before. Bernd was right! [Smile]

There can no longer be any confusion on this issue:

Maybe it is NCC-20105 and the guy who painted it on the hull just had a bad day. (Or it was the same idiot who was responsible for the Brattain-hullmarkings...) [Smile]

When listing the registry for this ship, I drop the second hyphen and have the registry as NCC-20105. This works nice, I think. [Smile]

Er, keep in mind that the ship itself appeared upside down. A backwards registry hardly seems like the worst of its problems.

(And, if the ship "really" is oriented that way, than the name, now on the ventral surface, is on the right way.)

Personally, I'm not so happy with the idea of there being two almost identical ship classes with the only difference being one faces one way and one the other. But, there you are.

NCC-2010-5 is, of course, equal to NCC-2005.

Good idea. Allthough the ship looks like a Sydney, it could also be an executive shuttle (maybe the nacelles are a modular part of the ship, depending on its mission, like the Danube-pod). And IIRC the executive shuttles from TUC were also used to pic up the survuvors of the Enterprise-crash in Generations. In other words: we know those vessels were used as shuttles by Nebula-class ships as well.

On the other hand, this would indicate the starship Nash's registry is NCC-2010...

I'd say that Sisko had Kira put the Temporal Investigations guy's ship into a holding pattern as long as possible untill they cleaned up the coridors leading from the lower pylon to OPs of tribbles. The silly upside down docking is the result of a protracted flight path and it makes zero difference if it's not oriented with the station due to rotating airlocks.
We'll just have to pretend the guy placing the registry was drunk or fighting off posession by jack the ripper's spirit or some damn thing.
.....or it was a initiation prank by Red Squad on the T.I. snobs (who really sees the outside of the ship you're in, anyway?)

NO WAY do I go for the "two identical ships with one having the bridge on the ventral side theory.

Well, if we assume that the Nash is really and truly a starship class unto itself, then presumably the feature that looks like an upside down bridge is really Something Else.

Yeah, a bowl shaped bridge on the ventral side where everybody sits in bean-bag chairs... [Roll Eyes]

Maybe it was indeed supposed to be a shuttle. The model may have been relabeled at the time when the "Sydney is a shuttle" legend was created. But then it would be a shuttle of the Jenolan!

Noooooooo!!!!
Tooo confusing!
This makes the "BOP size problems" seem easy to explain away by comparison. [Big Grin]

Wasn't the Nash a little too big for a shuttle?
