[QUOTE]Originally posted by The First One: [QB] Does it matter what they came up with? It's a completely futile argument. The references to certain ships as corresponding to a certain naval classifications are truly rare (and actual canon ones more so), and yet some people insist that this means that every type of vehicle that floats on water has its equivalent in Starfleet. "The Type-9 shuttlepod is, er, um. . . a coracle!" they cry; demands that the [i]Akira[/i] be recognised as an aircraft carrier cannot be far off. It's the same kind of ego trip that lead to all the FASA and Ships of the Starfleet rubbish - the hope that if you can get enough people repeating your theory it will somehow become canon. The current case - the [i]Intrepid[/i] is the best case in point. No-one was disputing its status as a Scout, yet as soon as a glorified runabout/shuttlecraft (and that's all it was - the other Starfleet personnel involved in the Ba'ku project were stationed on the Son'a ship, remember? - appears and is referred to (with no real justification) as a scout, suddenly the [i]Intrepid[/i] can't be a Scout, because scouts are small runabouts/shuttlecraft! For the last time, just because Riker called the [i]New Orleans[/i] a Frigate, it doesn't mean that there are also corvettes, schooners, Boston Whalers and whatever else out there! Riker's a f***wit! He may be the first ever Trek character to have all his dialogue declared on-canon! "NCC-1305-E!" "What's Trilithium? Oh, the stuff we nearly had stolen from us in a high-profile terrorist raid, how could I forget?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
