[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [QB] Can't we all forget about TFF? The only thing good about that movie was the bridge IMO. [b]Lakota[/b]: The Lakota was most likely either a regular Excelsior class or the E-B varient. In either case it could be true. Simple reasoning is that the E-B with all those extra equipment could have been added there after finding out for some reason that the Excelsior design has some flaws/weaknesses. Then newer ships with newer technology ironed that out so the E-B vairent design is no longer needed. Then the Lakota with her massive weapons refit, to make the ship more durable added those features. On the other hand, all if could have been is a weapons refit. Which is far more easier to do than to do what I suggested above. Throughout naval history, naval powers always refitted, swapped, replaced, and gutted out their ships for new weapons, equipment, armor, and so on. Wooden ships would be cut down, plated over with iron plates to become some sort of ironclad. WWI rea ships would be gutted out, hulls extended, machinery replaced, to make the ship equal or more efficient than before. When these refits are done, normally their classes remain the same. Look at the Tennessee, New Mexico, and Colorado classes. Each ship is different from their sisters. Would that make them a different class? No. [/QB][/QUOTE]
