[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] I think I’ve figured out which Constitution-class ship is in the Fleet Museum. Before some folks get into an uproar, I'll tell you what ASSUMPTIONS I am making so that they can save their breath telling me that I'm proceeding on false grounds. 1. Picard's line in "Relics" (TNG) means that there is one Connie in the Fleet Museum that retains it's original (TOS-style) configuration. 2. The Republic mentioned in "Valiant" (DS9) is the same ship as from "Court Martial" (TOS) and TUC, the Constitution-class NCC-1371. 3. All the Constitution-class ships in TUC are refitted types. Specifically the Eagle, Kongo, Endeavour, Republic, and Potemkin. 4. Usually (though not ALWAYS) if we see one ship that carries a name, and then we see a later ship with the same name, it means that the older vessel has been lost/ destroyed. 5. The ship in the fleet museum is not one that we’ve never heard of. (This makes sense since there were established to be only 12 Connies originally, probably with the rest being introduced in two or three subsequent batches, the latter of which would all be refit-types.) Now that we've gotten that out of the way, here it goes. Here are all the known Constitution-class vessels: U.S.S. Constellation, NCC-1017 U.S.S. Constitution, NCC-1700 U.S.S. Defiant, NCC-1764 U.S.S. Eagle, NCC-956 U.S.S. Endeavour, NCC-1895 U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701 U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-A U.S.S. Essex, NCC-1697 U.S.S. Excalibur, NCC-1664 U.S.S. Exeter, NCC-1672 U.S.S. Farragut, NCC-1647 U.S.S. Hood, NCC-1703 U.S.S. Intrepid, NCC-1831 U.S.S. Kongo NCC-1710 U.S.S. Lexington, NCC-1709 U.S.S. Potemkin, NCC-1657 U.S.S. Republic, NCC-1371 U.S.S. Yorktown, NCC- 1717 U.S.S. Valiant, NCC-1223 There's also these two ships from the DS9 episode "Sacrifice of Angels," which are Excelsior/Constitution-class and Intrepid/Constitution-class starship Variants, respectively: U.S.S. Curry, NCC-45617 U.S.S. Voyager, NCC-73602 We can eliminate these bottom two immeadiately. They didn't even exist in the TOS timeframe. We can further eliminate the Valiant, Defiant, Constellation, Intrepid, and Farragut, as these ships were destroyed in TOS. We can also eliminate the Enterprise, Constitution, Yorktown, Potemkin, Kongo, Republic, Endeavour, and Eagle, as they were all refitted prior to or during the movie era, with the Yorktown being recommissioned the Enterprise-A, eliminating her as well. The Republic is also known not to be in the Fleet Museum in the TNG era, but to be in use as an Academy trainer ship. This leaves the following: Exeter Excalibur Essex Hood Lexington Now, all of these names have been attached to other, newer ships from the TNG era, with the exception of one: the Essex. So I postulate that it is the U.S.S. Essex, NCC-1697, that is the Museum Ship from TNG. What do you guys think? [/QB][/QUOTE]
