Okay, here goes...

I'm trying to get screencaps of all the Excelsior-class vessels that we've seen, and the ones I still need are the following:

-U.S.S. Cairo from "Chain of Command" (TNG)
-U.S.S. Crazy Horse from "The Pegasus" (TNG)
-U.S.S. Crockett from "Paradise" (DS9)
-U.S.S. Potemkin from "Ethics" (DS9)

I'm also not sure if these actually appeared, or were only mentioned, but if they did I'd like them too:

-U.S.S. Gorkon from "Descent" (TNG)
-U.S.S. Roosevelt from "Unity" (VGR)

And, before people start pointing it out to me:

-I KNOW that many/all of these vessels were represented by stock or recomposited footage from earlier episodes. I still am looking to get caps of them from their episodes.
-I also KNOW that these episodes aren't on DVD as yet. I don't necessarily need really high-quality caps. (Although the higher quality the better.) Caps from any video tape should suffice.

Thanks and much appreciation to any and all who can help,

I don't recall the Crockett ever being shown.

Neither was the Roosevelt, except maybe in the stock footage they used in that episode, but that would've really been the Melbourne.

Okay then, scratch those from the list. I didn't think the Roosevelt had really appeared, and the only reason why I thought the Crockett did was because Steve's page said it did.

But about the Melbourne, I still don't have a cap of her that shows the name and registry, only this one from the Guardian.

There are only two stock shots of the Excelsior seen in TNG. One was first seen in "Encounter at Farpoint" as the USS Hood; the other, as the USS Repulse in "The Child". The first one terminates with the Hood peeling off and then the E-D continuing to show the Bandi planet in the background; this scene was truncated for subsequent appearances. I believe the second one is a space-only scene, which is occaisionally used with the E-D element only with a planet in the backgroung. I can't remember offhand, but the Jouret IV may have been visible in the background with both the E-D and the Excelsior Hanson arrived on in BoBW I.

Perhaps it would also be interesting to see if anyone has screencaps of the various Excelsior class vessels in DS9, esp. in the war battles. We do know the CGI crews did label the ships for the Valley Forge (when she gets hit and tumbles in that famous shot), the Hood (on a run with the Defiant to destroy the orbital weapons platforms' power installation), and a few others such as the Fredrickson (seen being towed, and later seen in VGR as part of the past at Utopia Planitia).

But that was only when Digital Domain (?) was doing the CGI shots. Foundation Imaging left the names and numbers alone when they didn't need to change anything.
