[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Actually, the first D-7 (or TOS battlecruiser, whatever its actual designation) to be seen cloaking was the Romulan vessel in "The Enterprise Incident". Kang's "Flashback" cruiser was the first cloaking battlecruiser to be seen in *Klingon* hands (although I don't think we ever actually saw it cloak or decloak), but Klingons could have acquired cloaks far earlier, perhaps even the same time the Romulans got those battlecruisers. In any case, there is a clear difference between the TOS ship and the K't'inga in that the former doesn't have impulse engines at all. Did Jein's "T&T" ship have impulse engines? Should we assume that the TOS ships had those, too? There are plenty of possibilities to wiggle out of this mess. 1) Tuvok may have at first misidentified the ship - it looks like a TOS ship from dead ahead, after all. Perhaps only a closer look at the stern parts revealed it to be of some other class, but this information was not so critical that Tuvok would have divulged it when the camera was looking at him. 2) Tuvok may have correctly identified the ship, and D-7 is the correct designation for the "T&T" ship but incorrect for the TOS ships (which could be D-6 or something). The "T&T" ship may come in torpedo-firing versions even if the one actually seen in that DS9 episode had a deflector dish. 3) Tuvok may have correctly identified the ship as belonging to a big family of ships, which is called D-7 and includes the TOS ships, the "T&T" ship and the K't'inga, but excludes the TAS ships (which would be D-5). 4) Tuvok may have correctly identified the ship as belonging to a big family that is called D-7 and includes ALL the battlecruiser variants seen. The TAS ship is another D-7 variant, while the D-5 class IKC Klothos spoken of by Kor was an even older ship which Kor later used as the namesake of his TAS D-7. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
