As everyone who has seen ST:X or read spoilers know by now there's a listing of ship names and registeries. People here have posted the names, but to my knowledge no one managed to get the registeries.
So in order to get that information I went ahead and emailed Mike Okuda and Doug Drexler. Thankfully Doug replied and I can supply the list he gave me.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject. I know I'll add it to my ship list asap... which is back up I'm glad to say at www.StarshipDatalink.net the .com no longer works.
In my attempt to break it down...
USS Intrepid NCC-74600: Clearly the Intrepid-class prototype vessel. USS Valiant NCC-75418: Well at least it wasn't NCC-74210. No telling if this is also a Defiant-class vessel either. USS Galaxy NCC-70637: Still the same ship from "Tears of the Prophets" - DS9 that fought in the Dominion War. USS Aries NCC-45167: The same Renaissance-class starship 'Captain' Riker was offered command of in 2365. USS Nova NCC-73515: This creates a problem because the USS Equinox was NCC-72381 and the USS Rhode Island was NCC-72701. USS Hood NCC-42296: Still Riker's old Excelisor-class ship. USS Archer NCC-44278: It's registry suggests it could be an Excelsior-class ship.

Let's see, we finally have 74600 for Intrepid which had been floating around for quite some time as conjecture. Valiant 74210 was destroyed DS9's 6th season and the new one looks to have been commissioned a year later, so I'm guessing it was either a ship already under construction without a name, or was ordered and built within a year. Maybe another Defiant class Valiant? Nova's number is a little high if it's supposed to be the prototype, but it could be the prototype's replacement (which would be in the new Valiant's situation). A new Nova class Nova replacing the prototype? And for some reason I keep on picturing the Archer as belonging to the same class as the Centaur.

Of course, there's no possible way the Nova could be something other than Nova-class, eh?
Also, I'm curious in what way this thread is deemed to be inappropriate for the "Starships" Forum, given that its sole subject is, in fact, starships. I'm thinking relocation might be a good idea...
