[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] I don't get you people. What's the difference here? "I served aboard the Enterprise, NCC-1701." "Which one?" "The refit." "I served aboard the Defiant, NX-74205." "Which one?" "The new one." The only difference is that the Defiant was 100% destroyed during its "refit" into the new Defiant, whereas the TOS Enterprise was only 90% destroyed. The 10% won't make a difference in the analogy; in practice, it probably makes a lot more difference whether you served on the refit or the original Enterprise, whereas it really doesn't matter if you served on the old or the new Defiant. The Sao Paulo was commissioned only a few months before it was renamed; it probably didn't even have a crew. It's not like anybody would miss it. If you want, you can imagine that Sisko salvaged a piece of bulkhead from the old Defiant and had it installed into the new one, to give it *something* of the old Defiant. Sure, this isn't what we see too often, but it's a war, you want to keep the morale high with the symbolic gesture, and why not if it doesn't make a difference in practice? Starfleet has other ways of identifying the hulls (such as Rick Sternbach's IC-103 for Voyager, vs. IC-101 for Intrepid and IC-102 for Bellerophon). What you're basically doing is taking Okuda's line/agreed tradition over onscreen evidence. Let's keep the canon order. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
