[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] In TOS, the following facts present themselves: A. Class Structure Superclass: Starship Class: J Class, Enterprise-type stsarship B. Ships identified as starship U.S.S. Archon U.S.S. Constellation NCC-1017* U.S.S. Defiant U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701* U.S.S. Excalibur* U.S.S. Exeter* U.S.S. Farrugut U.S.S. Hood* U.S.S. Horizon U.S.S. Intrepid* U.S.S. Lexington* U.S.S. Potemkin* NCC-1664 NCC-1672 NCC-1685 NCC-1697 NCC-1700 NCC-1703 NCC-1709 NCC-1718 C. Ships not identified as starship U.S.S. Antares U.S.S. Carolina U.S.S. Republic NCC-1371 U.S.S. Valiant U.S.S. Yorktown Constitution Class (based on visual and non-visual clues)are marked by an asterisk. There was never a definite statement in the original stating that the Enterprise-type starships were the only ones in service. There may have been other operational starship classes at the time. I like to think there were. As for the other non-Constitution Class ships, what do we know about them specifically? U.S.S. Archon and U.S.S. Horizon were both identified as starships operating out of Starfleet a hundred years before. Both were lost. U.S.S. Farrugut was a starship attacked and severly damaged by a vampire cloud. Over half her crew, 200 personnal, were killed. So she could have been a Constitution Class starship. Yet we have the contradictory evidence of the "Cage" which shows the Enterprise of the same time as having 203 crew. Of the unnamed ships, we know the list is reversed alphabetical. The Enterprise is near the bottom of the chart and Intrepid near the top. I can believe some of these ships are Constitution, but not all. U.S.S. Antares belongs to an older class of ships. She, like the unnamed Class J starship, had older technology-i.e. baffle plates-and had a very small crew size. Her exact ship type was never pinned down. U.S.S. Carolina was an operational starship assigned to a sector of space near to the Klingon border. Though identified by Captain Kirk as "United Star Ship Republic", she may not have been a Constitution Class starship. Afterall, the captain was repeating her name and not identifying her by class. U.S.S. Valiant is identified as a scout ship sent by Earth to the Eminair Star System. She was destroyed fifty years prior to TOS. U.S.S. Yorktown is mentioned by name and never as a starship. The S.S. Dierdre is not a starship. She is a merchant vessel with a top warp speed of 2. [/QB][/QUOTE]
