I think this episode featured more Starfleet vessels than the entire run of TOS. ;-)
Too bad we didn't get a better look. The space scenes were either too chaotic or too close up.

They were ugly, all but Shenzhou & that one big one.

From the closed cap: USS Clarke USS Shran USS T'Plana Hath USS Kerala USS Sue USS Rye USS Earhart USS Dana USS Edison USS Yeager USS Europa NCC-1648
And they all looked better than the Discovery.

We've got Nebula-class-style, NX-class-style, Stargazerr-class-style and Centaur/Reliant-class-style starships, or at least the pre-TOS version of it.

The Shenzhou was a Walker-class starship. This was known beforehand from insider sources, but also established in the episode as the dedication plaque was quite visible in one shot.
The court martial at the end of the episode was a bit ridiculous with all the judges in the shadows.
And it kind of bothers me that they can't keep their ranks straight, not even for their main characters. It's Tuvok all over again. Saru was first addressed as Lieutenant while wearing a Lt. Cmdr. pin. And later they refered to him as Lt. Cmdr. while actually wearing a Lt. JG pin.

I say they demoted him between the scenes for being such a negative influence on shipboard morale. By next week he'll be Ensign Runaway!

Yeah, TrekBBS is full of some real cockfaces. I shared my project over there & all they focused on was my statement that I wouldn't let anyone alter my timeline layout; for that, they called me "Dixonesque".

I screengrabbed a couple of shots of the fleet, each ship present looks to be of a different class. None of them seem familiar, but as others have said there are clear Nebula and Constellation configurations present. In the forward shot where they're all coming out of warp, in the top right it looks like there's a ship that could be another of USS Europa's class, but we know the Europa wouldn't arrive until later; it makes sense they'd re-use the design file after all. Chances are closer examination will reveal other class duplications, but it could be we're seeing as many as six new shoip designs. First Contact? Amateurs in comparisong with their poxy four designs!
