[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] One could say that there are at least four distinct versions of the battlecruiser: 1) The smooth TOS ship first seen in "Elaan of Troyius" (or "The Enterprise Incident", depending on airing order), never really named one way or the other (but Shatner and Nimoy apparently joked something about it being a D-7). 2) The more detailed Jein take on a TOS-era, explicitly called a D-7. 3) The smooth cartoon version with a protruding deflector and other differences, apparently called the D-5 (since Kor in DS9 said his old ship Klothos was of D-5 class, and he flew a ship named Klothos in TAS). 4) The upgraded version seen in TMP and other TOS movies, as well as in TNG and non-time-travel-DS9, apparently named K't'inga (but which episode actually uses this name?). Of course, one could say that 1) and 2) are the same thing, and blame the low resolution of 2260s visual recorders for the smoothness of 1). One could also assign D-designations to those ships that do not have them yet. If the TAS ship was a D-5 and the "Tribble-ations" ship was a D-7, then perhaps the TOS smooth ship was a D-6? And perhaps the K't'inga is a D-8, D-9, D-10, D-11..? It should probably precede D-12, though, since that designation was given in "Generations" to a largish BoP which would seem to have been introduced only after we saw K't'ingas for the first time.
