Follow the link on the page. Starfleet A-D are up and running. The rest of Starfleet should be up within a few days. (All the typing, etc., is done but I haven't created html files for the pictures yet. Damn Angelfire, no direct-image linking! ) Federation and Pre-Federation won't be along for some time though, I'm afraid.
Enjoy! -MMoM

"The ship was named for the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (CV-31) of the same name."
I suggest you read some history. Perhaps under "Jones, John Paul."
"The ship was obviously named for Captain Jonathan Archer of the S.S. Enterprise NX-01."

Yeh, a lot of the pages can't be accessed. For a substantial work such as this it requires, and warrants, a more reliable host. You needn't spend to much and you can have a professional host and your own domain...

Are you going to put little pictures of each ship next to each entry!?! That might be good!?! This could become the DEFINITIVE Starship info source on the web!! Well done.
Just something (not about your site) but about the U.S.S. Ahwahnee NCC-73620. Now this was at Wolf 359. I'm sure it's been discussed before but the U.S.S. Ahwahnee NCC-71620 participates in Picard's Romulan blockade!
All sorts of inferences could be made about this - but shouldn't we just put it down to both being either 71? or 73? I would say 71 cause 73 is a bit high for Season 3/4 TNG isn't it? The Runabouts were 72 weren't they?
Either way - is this just another 'muck up' that should be over-looked and the 'correct' registry agreed on? Like the Prommie actually starting with a 7, and the Sabre really being a 7 not an 8. I would then be happy with the Akira, Steamrunner, Sabre and Norway being of the 7 vintage instead of the 6's and 5's. I know that FC is a delicate point but not wanting to delve too deep - there are just TOO many circumstances which lend towards these ships NOT being from the time of the 5's and 6's. (even IF they are refit or not).

I suggest you delve further into your history. You are listing ships that you say are named after modern ships. An example... Bonhomme Richard... there was an American frigate with that name in the late 18th century. Also, ever heard of the frigate Constellation from that time period as well?

Something I have never understood. In the list of starships in the second Encyclopedia, Mr. Okuda lists the U.S.S. Ahwahnee with the registry of NCC-71620 as having been at Wolf 359. Why do we need to have two ships named U.S.S. Ahwahnee with slightly different registries (a 3 instead of a 1), when Mr. Okuda has himself implied that he made a mistake on the model and the correct registry for the Cheyenne Class starship is NCC-71620? Yet, in all websites which have a ship list, they list both registries for the U.S.S. Ahwahnee. Why do you not acknowledge the correction in your web sites?
Bernd,
The Ahwahnee were a native South California tribe who lived near or in what would be called Yosemite National Park. They were an insignificant tribe driven to extinction by the introduction of the Spaniards. Only their name lives on in the names of streets, of boats, and of hotels. (There is an Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite.)

I am not ignorant of the fact that there have been long legacies of these names, but I think Gene Roddenberry wanted to convey the Connies as the aircraft carriers of the 23rd century, thus he named them after aircraft carriers of the day. That was the premise I was going for with those particular ships, anyways.
Shik: I fixed the Saratoga reg in the Bellerophon entry. Thanks.
Harry: Let's not get into this argument again. Is it my shiplist or yours?
Bernd: Funny...sort of.
AndrewR and newark: I am going by the assumption that they were two different ships, primarily because there was only one survivor of Wolf 359 and IMO that was indeed the Endeavour. Also, because I am considering both studio models and computer displays as canon in this list, there need to be two ships to explain the two different registries. Actually, though, there is really no evidence that the NCC-71620 ship is a Cheyenne-class vessel. I should eliminate that and propose that it was an older vessel recommissioned after the NCC-73620 was destroyed.
Everyone else: Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry if there are technical difficulties.

USS Carolina -- Daedalus-class
USS Centaur -- Excelsior-class

The Carolina was identified as Daedalus-class vessel in the ST Encyclopedia. As you probably know, the Encyclopedia is a flawless canon source.
quote:USS Centaur -- Excelsior-class
According to the DS9 TM the Centaur is a Excelsior-class variant. The TM is also a flawless canon source.
