[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Hrm. Good argument, Mark. Except that as current naval systems go, a class applies more to the basic design and hull than the complete specifications. For example, there have been different "variants" of the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers with slightly altered specs, but they're all considered part of the [URL=http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/factfile/ships/ship-cv.html]Nimitz-class[/URL]. (Look at the weapons specs in particular -- they changed the outfit a bit. What else was changed?) Or alternatively, check out the [URL=http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/factfile/ships/ship-cru.html]Ticonderoga-class[/URL] cruisers and see how things differ there, too. Now, this may not necessarily explain such radical changes like the TWO Nebula versions :p but since those are apparently exchangable pods, anyway. And the Mirandas are simpler alterations, anyway -- just the rollbar, which was removed for the modification of the Lantree to a cargo ship, for example. Also, consider that the Constitution refit was a class-wide program -- therefore, since it was supposed to be a complete upgrade, it's still the Constitution-class. [/QB][/QUOTE]
