This shuttle also happens to have "Armoring". Her entire hull can be covered by metallic looking armor that comes out of nowhere, and apparently can withstand the force of a Negh'Var's disruptor blast. If anyone saw the TV Show "Viper", and saw how the Dodge Viper transformed into the Defender, then this is exactly what the "Armor" on the SC-4 looked like.
Also, the Nova class ship is commanded by Harry Kim. It is the USS Rhode Island. Her registry was barely visible, but I couldn't see it.

As for the armor plating, I thought it was pretty cool. The hardware for it must be intergrated into the ship's hull. Perhaps at that shield emitter that Klingon was so interested in. As for Voyager, they had to build stuff onto the hull.
What I didn't like was the transphasic torpedoes ability to take out an entire cube. But I also relized the Borg didn't know about it, and couldn't adapt. I guess that's why they were able to destroy 39 ships at 359, because of Picard's knowledge. Needless to say though, one torpedo blowing a cube to bits?
Finally, Kim's ship the Rhode Island. I wish they could of given us a little more. Registry, class, whatever. It looks like a Nova, but the deflector dish and the one on the saucer is different.

There were, of course, modified ships, such as Harry's Nova and Adm. Janeway's shuttle. There were also re-uses of several CGI ships such as Galaxies, Excelsiors, Defiants, Mirandas, and the Prometheus.
AND there were no Enterprise promos (at least not on the UPN station I was watching.
Oh, one last thing. I thought the episode sucked.

Okay, this bugs me, so I finally need to comment on it. The word is not "could of". It's "could've", as in "could have". "...could have given...". Basic English grammar.

Anyways, is being able to call up 18 ships with 9 on the way a good number? They should have been more ships, like a couple hundred, even just for effect. For godsakes, it WAS the last episode.
Is it a normal shuttle but when needed, armour "phased-out" like "Bio Armor Geyver"?

USS Rhode Island
Named after a battleship, or two battleships. I know there was a USS Rhode Island in WW II. Her registry is NCC-72xxx. Her class appears to be Nova Class.
Starfleet fleet
For a fleet defending Earth and ordered to open fire with 'extreme prejudice', they seemed to be floating in space waiting to be picked off by the Borg sphere. Only one registry-the Nebula-can be barely seen.
------------------
takeoffs are optional; landings are mandatory
we know the borg still exists and from what is said the specific tech was designed to fight them---but how useful is it against future borg--probably not as powerful as one torp per cube.
And I believe the Rhode Island would qualify as a Nova Class, in the same way that the Enterprise-A was considered a Constitution Class ship.
Re: the shuttlecraft-- maybe SC-4 stands for "Starfleet Command." (Janeway, as an Admiral, was part of 'Command.')

Let's start something else...let's compare the Nova Class that Captain Kim commands to the Nova Class that Captain Ransom blew up.
AFAIK, the only two differences were that Harry's ship had a dome for a bridge while Ransom's had a sunken-in bridge a la the Defiant. Also, the bow of the Rhode Island was curved all the way around, unlike the Equinox which was angled inwards in the front where the secondary deflector was located.
If Targetemployee is correct about the registry (72XXX), then the Rhode Island was probably built in the 24th century at the same time the Equinox was, and is just a variant, not an upgrade.

There is no debate that the ship we refer to as "Yeager" exists; the question is - is the label "Yeager" official, or is the ship instead a Intrepid-class variant?
IMHO, while an Intrepid-variant makes sense, "Yeager" seems about as official as the other class names we only know from sources like the TM, Magazine, or the Wolf 359 research. Also, there's the whole Miranda/Soyuz thing which indicates that class distinctions can be fairly arbitrary.
I'd be happy to have both Soyuz and Yeager be sub-classes; when Data calls the Bozeman a Soyuz-class ship he's assuming that everyone knows its a Miranda-class ship; the remarkable thing is that the Soyuz "class" has been out of service for a century.
...
The episode wasn't a total waste as far as us geeks are concerned - we now know how the TransWarp Conduits introduced in "Descent" [TNG] work. In that episode the Enterprise detects and copies a subspace signal to open and use a conduit; until "Endgame" [VOY] we didn't know where the signal went, where the conduits came from, how widespread they were, whether they were artificial or natural.
Rather surprising - most episodes - especially a series finale, and extra-especially Voyager - raise more tech questions than answers.

According to canonical registries, the USS Rhode Island's place in the registry list is between two Danube Class ships.
NCC-72381 USS Equinox
NCC-72452 USS Rio Grande
NCC-72701 USS Rhode Island
NCC-72917 USS Mekong
And also a big problem. Because it's the same ship that appears in the "Ships of the Line" calendar that's on the wall next to my desk. (Coincidentally, it's also the May picture, too.) I seem to recall people discussing this earlier, but I'll recap anyway: The caption says the ship is the USS Farragut, the registry on the nacelle pylon says NCC-70915 (inconsistent with the Farragut as seen in "Generations") and the tiny print on the mission pod says USS Bondue (I think). To top it off, the main labeling on the saucer seems to read USS Honshu, NCC-60205!
I guess we can stick with the USS Bondue NCC-70915, since those two designations are unique and not associated with any other ship.
Does anyone have any other info on ship labels? I tried to get a look at the Galaxy-class ship as it passed, but my freeze-frame is way too fuzzy, unfortunately.
Hey... does anyone know if Mojo is still around? I'll be he could help out with this.

As Mojo explained the mix of names and registries was accidental. I assume that the names and registries were only mixed up on the calendar picture and names and registries on the CGI-model used in Voyager were ok.

I've asked Rob Bonchune (Foundation Imaging), if he assigned names and registries to the other ships and here's his answer:
>No. whatever we had we used and never checked.

No, because he no longer works for Foundation Imaging.

Well that probably means that the Thunderchild was the Akira-class ship that we saw...
Jeez, don't these guys have any real interest in their work? I remember reading Bernd's article about the Wolf 359 ships and how Okuda and the others meticulously labeled most of the ships that we saw. It's a shame they don't do that now...
And why the hell do you guys ALWAYS change the board when I'm away on vacation???
