In the episode "Court Martial", there is the starship chart. This chart gives the registries of 10 Constitution Class starships. The Encyclopedia identified 8 of these ships. They are (from top of the chart to bottom of the chart):

NCC-1709 U.S.S. Lexington
NCC-1831 U.S.S. Intrepid
NCC-1703 U.S.S. Hood
NCC-1672 U.S.S. Exeter
NCC-1664 U.S.S. Excalibur
NCC-1697 U.S.S. Essex
NCC-1701 U.S.S. Enterprise
NCC-1718
NCC-1685
NCC-1700 U.S.S. Constitution

The exercise is to name the two unknown ships. The names must fit between Constitution and Enterprise.

takeoffs are optional; landings are mandatory

Fit? You mean alphabetically? Hmmm...

U.S.S. Corpus Cristi and U.S.S. Durango

Why? I don't know.

Maybe Franz Joseph created the Kongo after "Court Martial" for his Starfleet TM.

Canonically speaking, it was on a list in ST6, I believe. Probably the Operation: Retrieve chart, though it may have just been a computer display. I don't remember.

Are you _sure_ that this list is of Constitution Class ships? Does it say so on the list? I thought this was just a list of ships (not nessicarily Constitution Class).

No, the Court Martial-list had only NCCs on it. Mike Okuda or Doug Drexler took the names of the TOS-Constitution-class-cruisers and gave them these NCCs.
