[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by thelastguardian: [qb] I don't remember anything in 'Relics' that can be taken to indicate that the TMP Enterprise was 'Constitution Class.' Seems like Picard mentioned having seen a 'Constitution Class' vessel on display in a museum, but I don't recall if he meant one of the TOS variety or one like the 1701-A. However, 'Relics' does bring up an interesting point.... Shane [/qb][/QUOTE]When Picard looked around at the bridge and made the distinction that it (the TOS bridge) was of a "Constitution Class" and that there was one like it in the Fleet Museum...I think he was quite specifically referring to bridge upon the ship that he stood, notably the TOS version of a 'Constitution Class' starship. Unless...there were 2 "Constitution Class" vessels...one being the 'old' and the other being the 'new' variant. Maybe, for whatever reason, the "Constitution Class" had a variant (aka the refit model) that was known as the "Enterprise Class". This could be associated with the [i] USS Enterprise[/i] possibly being the first of the old "Constitution Classes" to undergo said refit, and hence, the self named class designation. Perhaps once the remainder of the Constitution fleet was upgraded (or a second generation was built) they reverted back to the familiar "Constitution Class" designation for whatever reason. It, in anycase, would make for a plausable explanation, such as why during the same 'timeframe' we see the "Miranda Class" 'upgrade' [i]USS Bozeman[/i], designated as a "Soyuz Class", when it was little more than a variant of the original [i]USS Reliant[/i] in the first place.... Ah, the foibles of too many cooks in the kitchen!! :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
