[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] Ah, just give up on "Futurama Guy". I'm beginning to suspect that he's in a "mood" of late and just feels like tweakin' eveyrone's nipples. That or he's just a Troll. ;) As to the whole "starship class" debate, I'm inclined to agree with what I feel that Franz Joseph was getting at: the term "starship" applies to all "large" vessels in Star Fleet use at a given time and that [i]Constitution[/i] is indeed the class name for which [i]Enterprise[/i] belongs. "Starship" simply refers to the overall designation of ships that meet certain requirements, which I seem to recall is listed in the "StarFleet Technical Manual", but am too lazy to look up at the moment. This also goes along with our current U.S. Navy's practice of naming a specific ship class after the lead ship, while using a basic technology label for all ships that meet basic mission requirements, such as the AEGIS class missile cruiser - and there's no ship named "[i]U.S.S. AEGIS[/i]", either.... Use of phrase "[i]United Star Ship Enterprise[/i]" in a few episodes of TOS by Kirk - and maybe others - indicates to me that U.S.S. stands for "United Star Ship", tho it's never specifically stated as such. I take it as an implication, tho. As is always the case with conjecture: YMMV, TT&L not included, not recommended for use by children under 5, inhalation hazard and may cause cancer in lab rats. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
