[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] The most plausible reason seems to me to be that the first ship to be upgraded to the new specs (1701-A as opposed to 1701) was in fact the Constitution, probably for PR reasons. Alternatively, the Constitution NCC-1700 had been destroyed by this point and they built another one, NCC-2050 (or something), to be the first of a new class of which the Yorktown/Enterprise was part. I don't think changing the name of an already built class makes any sense. If I recall correctly, modern navies keep the class name even if the class ship is renamed (Kirov Class had this I think). [/qb][/QUOTE]Alas, the 1701 (TOS) WAS "Constitution Class", but then the 1701 (TMP-TSFS) WAS "Enterprise Class", but then the 1701-A WAS "Constitution Class", again. Obviously, a class name change occurred...(and BTW, where the hell is NCC-2050 coming from???...anyway) just because they don't do class name changes NOW doesn't mean protoculs won't change in the next 250 years...we are, afterall, comparing [i]sailing vessels[/i] to [i]starships[/i]...not quite the same fruit of the vine growing here...
