[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] The reason for decommissioning was somewhat nebulous. The start of the film had the crew taking about being three months away from retirement. Whether or not the ship was to follow the same fate is unknown. But what we do know is that at the end, Uhura repeated a message from Starfleet Command ordering then to return to Earth to be decommissioned. At some point between the end of Star Trek VI and the beginning of Generations, the Enterprise-A is retired. Possibly from the damage? Perhaps. I happen to think that the Enterprise-A's decommissioning was coming up pretty quickly. The Excelsior class was probably in production by this point since the Excelsior herself was dropped from experimental status. And just a short three years later, the Enterprise-B was ready for launch. The Enterprise-B was a modified Excelsior class. Since it would take a while to build a ship (yet alone design the modifications and incorporate them into the design), I think that the Enterprise-B was already under construction during Star Trek VI. This is just my opinion, but some of the facts that I use to base this opinion on are the Enterprise-B's design and construction time and that Starfleet didn't send another ship after the Enterprise-A when she first stated her warp drive was out for weeks and when the communication system went down. It seemed to me that Starfleet just sort of accepted the excuses as if they expected the ship to be suffering some minor or moderate systems trouble (granted, I also remain open to the possibility that the Enterprise-A was dodging ships that were sent after her).
