For my next trick... a possible solution to the Yeager Crisis.Okay, we all know about the USS Yeager, Sabre Class. We also know about the raider/Intrepid kitbashed "Yeager" Class. We've heard discussion about how the Sabre Class one must have necessarily been destroyed to create the other, since names don't jump classes... or somesuch. But.. the revelation that the kitbashed "Shelly" Class on DS9 was actually named the "Curry" Class in honor of one of the guys who worked on the show leads me to wonder... What if the also-kitbashed, also on DS9 ship was not "Yeager" Class at all, but "Jaeger" Class? Named after ANOTHER important man on DS9? Anybody else think that makes sense? ------------------ "...

I thought about that too, but Jaegar is from ILM anyway, and the DS9 people would have little contact with him. I think Okuda or one of those people said that both names are "Yeager" anyway.------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!" - TMBG

It's a great idea, but unfortunately doesn't work.  ------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!" - TMBG

The Shelley-class is really Curry-class?! Agh...now I'll have to change every thing on my starship database. If you know anything about making HTML Tables you'd know it's hard work to change something like this. Hobbes 9906.10

No, the ship was called the Curry. There stil is no official class name. You're welcome to call it "Shelley"- or Curry-type. People will know what you mean, either way.As for the Yeagers, there were indeed both spelled w/ a 'Y'. Both the DS9 and ST9 VFX crews decided to name a ship after Chuck Yeager, neither realizing that the other was doing so, also. However, there are two ways around it: 1.) The name Yeager has not been canonically applied to the ship on DS9. It wasn't even mentioned in the encyclopedia or the DS9TM (although we don't know what it might say in the encyclopedia-3 yet). Technically, it can be assumed that the Intrepid-bash is actually named differently. 2.) The assumption I prefer... The Sabre-class Yeager was launched and named sometime after the Yeager-class one was destroyed/lost/etc. Those of you who hold the irrational belief that a class name cannot be reused on an individual ship won't like this, but, well, too bad. "The Dogs of War" already disproved that theory, anyway. ------------------ "I ran into Charlie Fogg. He blacked my eye, and he kicked my dog.
