[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] From my <a href="http://www.skynjun.com/trek/jpfaq.html">J-Project FAQ</A>... [b] What about the [i]Enterprise[/i]-A? That was supposed to be the [i]Yorktown[/i]![/b] No, it was supposed to be [b]A[/b] [i]Yorktown[/i], not necessarily [b]THE[/b] [i]Yorktown[/i]. I've decided to utilize a theory recently put forth by <A href="http://steve.pugh.net/fleet/">Steve Pugh</A>: </LEFT><CENTER>[i]"The E-A was a newbuild [/i]Constitution[i] from the 2270s which was never quite completed. Either she suffered some accident during production or the budget ran out. She sat around a dockyard for a dozen years until Starfleet decided to give Kirk a prezzie for saving their ass. Hastily outfitted and brought up to date and with a dodgy registry number slapped on her (her original planned registry might have been reassigned in the intervening years) she was taken over to Spacedock for the end of ST IV. No wonder she was in a right state during ST V. Add all the above mentioned stress and damage to a botched job of refitting done to an hull that had been left untended for a decade and you get a ship that's ripe for early retirement."[/i]</CENTER><LEFT> Using that line of reasoning, my universe states that the [i]Enterprise[/i]-A was a remaindered hull from 2272, formerly intended to be a newbuild, USS [i]Wasp[/i] (NCC-1831), the first of a planned 12-vessel run of new ships. However, the job was cancelled & the hull placed into storage. Fast-forward 14 years to the "Whalesong" incident. Kirk is "punished" by being demoted to the only rank he was happy at & is given a new ship. The old [i]Wasp[/i] is hauled out of the mothball yards, shoved up to spec for the time (or as much as they could handle) & formally christened [i]Enterprise[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
