[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain Stark: [QB] Wacky theories hu? It's interesting to see how different people place pieces in this puzzle. One of the reasons I enjoy this so much. I'm certain that once I have my Ultimate Ship Listing posted that other Treknologists will be clawing their eyes out after reading some of my theories. 1, 4, 6, 7, & 13: Hmmm....Interesting. Since we base a lot of theories off of what we see in modern navies does this happen now? From the numerous non-cannon sources that I have been reading about, it seems that ships recive their names before they were built. Your theory would explain the two registries for the Yamato. However I seriously doubt that once a registry has been chosen, and commonly used, that Starfleet would allow it to be changed unless it was an unusual situation (like the Yorktown to the Enterprise-A in ST IV: TVH) 2: Only placing originial registries on your list is your choice. However I think it limits the list. 3: A plausable theory that I'll have to look into more. However if I recall Scotty's tech manual in The Trouble with Tribbles shows USS Constitution NCC-1700. If there was an older USS Constitution then it may have listed it's registry. Wish that TPTB had kept things a little more organized on the registry numbers. I could have easily accepted NCC-1710 for the USS Constellation. 5: Thanks for the info. 8: Interesting. Wasn't this the same case for the Ambassador Class USS Yamaguchi? Galen help me on this one I think I may have heard this from you. 9: I'll also double check this one. Since I asked I might as well help look up items. 10: Now that you mention this I'll have to think it over. On my list I have quite a few in-jokes listed even though they might be wacky (one Okudagram has a Captain Luke Skywalker on a diplomatic mission to Alderann that I ended up including on my list) 11: Does anyone know the name of this special? Or photos? I love photos to help me find more puzzle pieces to put into the mix. 12: Ah another YATI that made me cringe when I saw the photo in the magazine. Wish the person who was assigned to re-dress the model hadn't been that lazy on working over the registry. A non-cannon ship list had ships that had been renamed to a different name but kept the same registry (wish I was at home to give examples from some of these books). Perhaps Starfleet had another Sydney Class named USS Jenolan NCC-2010-A to honor the missing Montgomery Scott who was on the USS Jenolan. Then later someone at Starfleet realized that this was probably not the proper way to honor Mr Scott and thus had the ship renamed to the next name on the list which could have been the Nash. On ship lists it would have been listed as USS Nash (x-USS Jenolan) NCC-2010-A. Then something happened to the Nash-A that made Starfleet want to name another Sydney Class the USS Nash NCC-2010-B? I believe the encyclopedia mentiond that these types of ships were performing the same functions that the runabouts do now. And since we seem to go through runabouts like water sometimes, perhaps Sydney class ships have a very short lifespan but are easily replaceable. Whew, a streached theory but possible. Bouncing the ball back out to the court. [/QB][/QUOTE]
