[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Well, it is [i]now.[/i] What Peregrinus means is that when "The Naked Now" was filmed, Mike Okuda created a dedication plaque for the U.S.S. Tsiolkovsky, with the registry of NCC-53911, and the class called the "Oberth," after Hermann Oberth, a famous German rocket scientist. Both Okuda and Sternbach were going under the assumption that the Tsiolkovsky model, once it was built, would be a newer class of ship (but not as new as the Enterprise-D). That's why the registry number was so high. Unfortunately, in post-production, the decision was made to use the old Grissom model from ST:III, since TPTB didn't want to spend money building a new model. This caused three problems: 1) The registry for the model was now way too high for a ship of that age, 2) "Oberth" was now synonymous with the Grissom model when it was meant to represent another class of ship, and 3) they didn't bother to relabel the model from when it was used as the Grissom, so even though the dedication plaque has a five-digit registry number, the model only had three. Even worse, as the show went on, Okuda did start to relabel the movie models to represent other ships, and every time the Grissom model was used again, it was relabeled with an insanely high 5XXXX registry number.
