You forgot the Apollo class (though there was that MSD sketch Sternbach intended for the Pegasus- which I built my model from).

If you'll recall, UP3 was going to reflect the (neither provable nor disprovable) notion that the Vulcan design seen as the T'Pau in "Unification, Part II" (TNG) was the Apollo, as per the suggestion of the Encyclopedia.
There's nothing to link Sternbach's Pegasus sketch with the Apollo, although there were at one time rumors that an Ambassador-esque design was created (and then not used) in "Emissary" (DS9). Whether or not these rumors reflected the truth or not was never conclusively established.

hmmm...I suppose. I've never like the notion that a ship of alien origin would sport a name from Earth's mythology.
It's just silly- as though the Vulcans have no culture to draw names from....er assuming their name "Vulcan" is a phonetic coincidence, of course.
Besides, the ASDB Apollo is (sorta) like the Sternbach sketch, so there! HA!

Apollo is Vulcan for "Angel of the Abyss"
