[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] IMHO, I believe that this whole "Carolina=Daedalus" thing was simply just a mistake (or at least an oversight) on Okuda's part when he was writing the Encyclopedia. Since all of the Constitution class ships in TOS were accounted for with Greg Jein's T-Negative list, the Carolina is the odd man out. Instead of inventing a TOS-era conjectural class, he just saves time by making the ship Daedalus class, even though it contradicts the Daedalus recall date. And he can't even get the registries right between the shiplist entry and the graphic. Keep in mind that there were only three other Starfleet vessels mentioned being in operation during TOS besides the Connies: The Carolina, the Antares, & the Deirdre. For some reason, Okuda decides to arbitrarily make the Antares its own class, ignore the Dierdre, and make the Carolina a class of ship that it really shouldn't be. I'm not trying to bash Michael Okuda. I like Michael Okuda. He's a real nice guy who I'm sure works very hard to make Star Trek the best it can be for the fans. But he's not the Star Trek God, just because he wrote the Encyclopedia. Everything that's not canonically stated or seen on the show itself can be subject to anyone's interpretation (& sometimes even canon things as well, provided they contradict each other, but that's a different story). So if Newark wants to believe his theory, fine. I personally think the Carolina was a different ship. I also think the Republic & the Farragut weren't Constitutions, either... [/QB][/QUOTE]
