I don't have access to the episode myself so I used the screen captures from the wiki article.<br /><br />I managed to figure out most of the last column, which lists the ship missions (although the unreadable header is a single word much longer than MISSION). The third column is most probably the ship captain/commander name.<br /><br />One thing I had in mind was that since this display appeared at roughly the same time as the ship list in TNG Up The Long Ladder (the one with all the DY-class vessels), then maybe the creator (Mike Okuda) may have recycled some of the data from one list to the other, as simply as copy-paste. And indeed I think it did happen, some mission descriptions like DIPLOMATIC MISSION TO ALDERAAN are present on both charts (and then on the starship status chart in the E-D observation lounge as well).<br /><br />So this is what I've got so far:<br /><br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3395/3344069297_fc186b7ee6_o.jpg" target="_blank">starship deploy status</a> <br /><br />Nothing to write home about, but using other known okudagrams and input from you guys, we might just nail a few of those ships.<br /><br />For instance, there's a strange ship name, the 6th from the top, that looks like USS XXXXXXX X from a distance... That space towards the end is unusual, and knowing that some copy-paste was involved in the making of the display, it got me thinking... Perhaps we're looking at the USS HOKULE'A, probably not the same SS HOKULE'A mentioned on the DY-class chart. I expect many of the ships on this display have also been seen on earlier/later okudagrams.<br /><br />So do any of you have better screen captures from the episode, or any hunch as to what those ships may be ? Or some inside info from Mike Okuda ? Don't be shy, there's no shame in rehashing this dusty old stuff... or is there ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dukhat</b> <br /><small>Member # 341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2009,2,10,12,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 10, 2009</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:33 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I think you've hit the nail on the head with the four columns representing ship names, registry numbers, commanders, and missions. I would hazard a guess that all the captains (with the exception of Picard and other captains referred to by name), are just names of production people. That's what Okuda generally did when making charts of this nature. <br /><br />As for the ship names, Okuda stated that most of the TNG era ship names from the Encyclopedia has their origins in one form or another from this chart. Without any hard facts, I think you just need to make a list of early TNG ship names that were spoken or referred to. I'd bet you'd get the right amount of ships eventually. Heck, I can make a list right now:<br /><br />1. Enterprise<br />2. Drake<br />3. Horatio<br />4. Renegade<br />5. Thomas Paine<br />6. Gettysburg<br />7. Victory<br />8. Berlin<br />9.

If all the ships listed in the Encyclopedia have a canonical origin, then this Ship Deploy display may be the source for the missing ones. The charts from Unification and E-D observation lounge have been already well deciphered, so what's left ? I'll try to fit names from your list to the display, and see what gives.<br /><br />I would remove ships with a NX registry (Bradbury, Galaxy), as the registry column is very regular, all NCC prefixes as much as I can tell. Oh well, then maybe they *were* listed with NCC registries here. Never mind !<br /><br />There are still weird gaps in some names that are difficult to explain, such as USS XXXXXXXXX X XXX...
