[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Except for the fact that other than in Fandom (really saying: "non-canon," but let's stay on topic) sources we have seen that Starfleet does not use sub-classes. Ships that are different are just 'variants' of the same class. The Lantree and Saratoga do not have their own sub-classes, they are just "Miranda-class variants." And while I guess a case could be made that on occasion USN ships change class (or, more accurately, are assigned their own [i]sub-classes[/i]) I don't really see that fitting with what we've seen in Trek to date. That's just my personal inclination. TPTB, and all canon sources, all agree that the refit-Constitution is just that---A refitted version of the Constitution-class. Not a new class, just an upgrade of the existing one. This is supported onscreen by dialog in TNG, by Chekov's screen in STIII, and by Scotty's blueprint in STVI. I think it's quite reasonable to say that this plaque was simply referring to one of two things: 1.) The simulator being used by the class of cadets in training for service aboard the Enterprise. 2.) The class of the simulator. (This could be likely because as we've seen, ships of the same class don't always have the same bridge modules. We've never seen the bridge of another refit-Connie, so this could be an unique bridge for the Enterprise. Thus, an Enterprise-class bridge simulator. I admit it's a bit of a stretch because the Grissom and Reliant both had the same bridge, but at least it's a fairly plausible explanation.) -MMoM :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
