[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]Besides, a ship does more than simply shoot at the enemy. Is Starfleet going to throw away a whole load of useful ships simply because they look a bit old? I can see them regulating them to smaller duties, and decommissioning them on an individual basis (like Sonnie says above), but an entire class all at once? Daft. Besides, what's going to scare a Klingon ship more? A single Excelsior, or 5 refit-Connies?[/QUOTE]See, I think this is an arguement in favor of the theory that the Polaris-Class is retrofitted Constitutions. Let's "theorize" that Starfleet planned on phasing out the Constitution-Fleet and replacing it with Excelsiors. Well, the need arises for a relatively small ship with a small crew for interdiction, or patrol, or what have you. So some bright guy at Starship R&D suggests a rather rapid refitting of the Connie-Class starships into the new Polaris-Class. Saves Starfleet time in designing a new ship - now all they have to do is some interior re-decorating. [QUOTE]Why spend a year refitting an antiquanted starship when you can build a new Miranda (or possibly even an Excelsior) in the same timeframe that will serve far longer?[/QUOTE]Jason, I thought you were in FAVOR of the theory that the Polaris-Class were retrofitted Connies? Speaking of Connies ... In that god-awful 6th season Red Squad episode, I think Nog makes a reference to a training ship which hasn't left the Sol System in like sixty or seventy years ... the USS Republic. This might be a stretch, but isn't it possible this ship might be *the* Republic from TOS? Heck, maybe there were two Connies used for training missions for Starfleet Academy, and one of those got sent to Wolf 359 (solving that mystery :D ). [/QB][/QUOTE]
