[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] In the episode "Field of Fire", the USS Grissom is said to have 1250 crew. This has perplexed me. Why? The Excelsior Class starship has half that number of crew. I have heard it argued that the Grissom may have been carrying passengers, specifically troops, and that they may been added into the normal crew to get 1250. I believe this to be wrong. Here's my reasoning. In the episode "Field of Fire", the insane Vulcan is said to have survived the destruction of the Grissom. He is said to have been aboard the ship 10 years and had developed friendships with other crew members. These statements alone don't support the existence of troops aboard the ship, rather they support the idea that the crew had numbered 1250 in 2365. Further, in Star Trek, when a ship is identified as having a mixed complement, there is always mention of a mixed compliment. Good examples are "The Schizoid Man" and "Ethics". And in DS9, the episode "Siege of AR-558" with the USS Veracruz. So, I think that the USS Grissom is not an Excelsior; rather, she may be a Galaxy or an Istanbul or a large starship of an unidentified class. [/QB][/QUOTE]
