[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Timo makes an interesting point about the Navy decommissioning ships for the duration of a refit. Which might suggest that Kirk's Enterprise was decommissioned at the end of the five-year mission, and then recommissioned at the start of TMP. I'm not up on all my naval traditions; is there some equivalent to Starfleet's dedication plaques on ships of the US Navy and other seagoing vessels? That might help set the definition of commissioning dates. Even better... there were ships like the USS Sutherland which were commissioned only a few weeks before "Redemption, Part II" according to the set's dedication plaque. I've always assumed that the Sutherland was a newly-built ship. But what if it were actually a ship that had been decommissioned for a major refit or repair -- for instance, as a ship salvaged after Wolf 359? Heck, that might even explain the differing registry numbers of the USS Ahwahnee... [/QB][/QUOTE]
