[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] Eagle, Endeavour, and Potemkin registries are from the sixth movie. The first two ships were on the Operation: Retrieve plans and the last was on an okudagram located at Uhura's station. The Intrepid's registry was based on a logical inference. When Commodore Stone made his decision to pull a maintenance team off the Intrepid, he was looking at the top of the chart, not the middle, not the bottom. There were two registries in his pov, NCC-1709 and NCC-1831, and the latter had reached 100 percent completion. The commodore wouldn't have pulled off a team working on a ship if the ship wasn't repaired and ready to embark. We have a very clear image of a Connie with registry NCC-1700 in "Datalore". Unfortunately, this ship bears no name. So, she could be for all intents and purposes an unknown Connie bearing the registry NCC-1700. As for the Space Seed reference, it is damn near impossible to read the screen. I know for I have tried. The same goes for the reference seen in "The Trouble with Tribbles". With the reissue of the article, we have the only copy of one of those technical screens and they tell us nothing of the registry of the class ship. We are given additional information on the mechanics of phaser techonology and the class structure then in place. I would be more comfortable if I didn't get the impression that both Greg Jein and Michael Okuda were acting on third source material, not first source material. Both have said there was canonical evidence for the associaton between the name Constitution and the registry NCC-1700 in "Space Seed". If the image preserved in this article was from the episode, this association has been proved to be false. As the issue stands, we are accepting a canonical registry for a ship where there was no proven association between name and registry. So, the question arises, where did the association originated? Did it originate in the production offices of TOS, or in fandom? [/QB][/QUOTE]
