[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] I went through the Mighty Monkey of Mim's website and compiled a list of starships involved in the Operation: Retrieve mission. Ships considered were: [b]U.S.S. AHWAHNEE NCC-2048[/b] [b]U.S.S. CHALLENGER NCC-2032[/b] [b]U.S.S. EAGLE NCC-956[/b] [b]U.S.S. ENDEAVOUR NCC-1895[/b] [b]U.S.S. SCOVIL NCC-1598[/b] [b]U.S.S. SPRINGFIELD NCC-1963[/b] I think these silhouttes represent both the class and size of a starship. For instance, we know that an Excelsior-Class starship is larger than a Constitution-Class starship. My speculation is this: There are two Excelsiors-the [b]U.S.S. AHWAHNEE[/b] , the [b]U.S.S. CHALLENGER[/b] There are two Constitutions-the [b]U.S.S. EAGLE[/b] , the [b]U.S.S. ENDEAVOUR[/b] There are two Oberths-the [b]U.S.S. SCOVIL[/b] , the [b]U.S.S. SPRINGFIELD[/b] I don't think there are no new classes on the chart. Listed below are ships from FJ Manual and official Paramount sources. [b]NCC-1764[/b] U.S.S. GALINA (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. DEFIANT (in offiicial sources) [b]NCC-1837[/b] U.S.S. MIRFAK (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. LANTREE (in official sources) [b]NCC-3890[/b] U.S.S. LOCKYER (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. GETTYSBURG (in official sources) [b]NCC-501[/b] U.S.S. JENGHIZ (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. ANTARES (in official sources) [b]NCC-602[/b] U.S.S. ARIES (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. OBERTH (in official sources) [b]NCC-623[/b] U.S.S. AQUILA (in FJ Manual); U.S.S. COPERNICUS (in official sources) I didn't include the registries from the Court Martial chart. These were already official and canon. Starships in the time of TOS and the first four movies included the Miranda Class, Constitution Class, and the dreaded J Class :) . Adding to the fleet, there were scouts (Hermes Class), transports/tugs (Ptolemy), destroyers (Saladin), and dreadnoughts (Federation). The chart could have included examples from all or only one of the above. We don't know. Mr. Okuda in his descriptive notes says the registries for the starships Archon, Horizon, Valiant, and the Constitution Class fleet are conjectural. The Horizon's registry, with the introduction of the model in Sisko's office, is canon along with the registries of the Enterprise, Republic, Constitution, Constellation, and Potemkin. My chronology for the Constitution Class fleet could go something like this- After the loss of the S.S. Columbia in 2238, the Constitution Class fleet was commissioned. This ships were capable of faster speeds and were considered technological marvels. They would serve the fleet for forty years as the premier starship class. Other starship classes, like the Miranda Class, would serve alongside the Constitution Class ships. Lesser starship classes, of the Scout Class, would scan a planet and, if anything of interest was spotted, a ship of the Starship Class would be sent to investigate. Dreadnoughts played a smaller role in the fleet and were very rare. There may have been other families of ships-the destroyers, the transports/tugs, the Antares Class freighters, and so on. By the mid-2280's, the Constitutions were being replaced by the Excelsiors. The Excelsiors were intended to be the next big capital ships in the fleet. Prior to 2240's "J" Class and Daedalus Class Starships 2240's Constitution Class starships and its family of similiar ships; "Antares" Class freighters 2270's Miranda Class and Soyuz Class starships; Oberth Class scouts 2280's Constellation Class and Excelsior Class starships; Sydney Class transports [/QB][/QUOTE]
