[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Maybe the DIDN'T skip the numbers it was just that there were PLANS to build say 20 starships in one 'batch' but they only ended up doing 15 so there were 5 numbers left over... in the mean time - new orders or batches of other classes were already assigned/being built - and that they 'secured' the next 20 numbers... then say a few years later - if they wanted to use the empty five numbers from the first batch... they could - if they wanted to. so its ROUGHLY in order - but there are gaps from unmade starships - where other ships could use those numbers... if they wanted. This also helps explain the four digit numbers and even the Grissom having a three digit number - there is only 1000 three digit numbers to use - so after say The Undiscovered country all 3 digit numbers had been used... either from their first batches or from newer starships taking unused numbers... (from unmade/assigned ships.) Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
