[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Well, I think the dialogue in "Relics" went something like this: Picard: Constitution-class. Scotty: Aye, you're familiar with 'em? Picard: There's one in the Fleet museum. It *does* imply that the one in the fleet museum is the only one left. However, if we were to mince words, the one in the museum could have been a non-refitted version of the Connie, and the Republic could have been a refitted edition. This would make more sense than to train cadets on a truly outdated configuration of starship, and would serve to make Picard's reminiscence more poignant, as he was standing on a non-refit bridge. Further circumstantial evidence could have included Sisko & crew's sense of wonder as they were walking around the E-nil in "Trials and Tribble-ations", since the odds are some of them may have trained aboard the Republic. Ditto if they kept around the Enterprise bridge simulator from ST2. And of course, it could simply mean that the Republic was NOT a Constitution-class ship. The class has never been explicitly mentioned in any show, after all, and was only established in the Encyclopedia and the Franz Joseph manual. Following Occam's Razor though, it probably was, lending to the credence of the "Republic = E-Refit" theory above. But bringing this back to Wolf 359, neither the Republic or the museum ship would have been there, as Collins spoke of the Republic in the present tense and Picard spoke of the museum ship the same way - both after the battle. Since screen evidence strongly suggests that a Constitution class was at Wolf 359, unless that ship was a mothballed or reserve ship, there exists a possibility that a refit Connie or two may have been in service with Starfleet at the time - even more evidence in favour of the Republic.
