[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] But we are talking about nothing more than arbitrary number assignments. Look at the M-1 Abrams or the F-22 Raptor. Someone who was not familiar with modern military designations could logically interpret that an F-101 Voodoo from the early 60's or an M-4 Sherman from WW2 were more advanced replacements of the Abrams and Raptor if all they knew were the designations. In the same way USN aircraft carriers have gone from being "CV-XX" to "CVA-XX" to "CVA(N)-XX" to now the use of "CVN-XX". Who is to say that hull numbers for whatever replaced the Ford class (if there are ever replacements) will not start over at "XX-1". Since every registry is "NCC" instead of a type specific like the Navy uses,Starfleet could simply have started classifying ranges of numbers to equate to type/usage. Anything below 4 digits would be utility vessels and the 2000's could have been intended for "Fast Battleships" (Transwarp) etc. Personally, I think they should have used other class/type designations from the beginning. "NCC" would be for a "Cruiser", "NCD" a "Destroyer" etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
