I hope this is a proper place for this post.

Does anyone out there have any dedication plaque pictures, information, and other tidbits others might not have heard of? To try to make a quick list (I'm going to miss a few I've seen/heard before, so let's get cracking; at least one source for each is mentioned):

*U.S.S. Enterprise (we've seen it all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Enterprise-A (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Enterprise-B (all--Encyclopedia)

U.S.S. Enterprise-C (none? (Assumed--. . . to boldy go where no one has gone before . . .)

*U.S.S. Enterprise-D (all--TNG Technical Manual)

*U.S.S. Enterprise-E (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205 (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Voyager (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Brattain (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Sutherland (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Phoenix (all--The Continuing Voyages)

*U.S.S. Excelsior (all--Encyclopedia)

*U.S.S. Pasteur (all--special program for TNG; some early inaccuracies)

U.S.S. Stargazer (Quote: "To bring light into the darkness"--Encyclopedia)

U.S.S. Hathaway (Construction base: Copernicus Shipyards, Luna--Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems--Encyclopedia)

U.S.S. Tsiolkovsky (Quote: "The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one connot remain in the cradle forever"--Encyclopedia)

U.S.S. Yamato (Quote: I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man--Encyclopedia)

U.S.S. Odyssey (Quote: (Something like) It's purpose still a mystery (I don't have the Encylopedia II with me, and I can't recall the 2001 quote)

U.S.S. Prometheus NX-59650 (Quote: "All the world is a stage and all the people actors. They have their entrances and exits"--Star Trek Communicator Magazine--sorry, might not be an exact quote; I'm not up on Shakespeare)

* Picture available

All of the ships above have plaques that have been made. Those with incomplete information include as much information as I have heard or seen. If anymore plaques have been made, but I didn't list them here, please fill them in if you can (with pictures if possible), if any more information is known to fill in the incomplete plaques, please help. I know the Tsiolkovsky dedication plauque was written with cyrillic figures, and a copy resides in a museum in Russia (God, talk about your places I want tourist pictures right now.) I'm not sure if I haven't seen Enterprise-B's plaque, and I think we saw the Raven's plaque, but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

I believe the quote is "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts..." I don't know how much of it was on the plaque. And I may have a word or two wrong...

In the episode "Second Sight", a dedication plate can be seen for the USS Prometheus(NCC-71201)on the back wall of the bridge.

Someone somewhere was able to give the Construction Base for the Tsiolkovsky. Does anyone here know?

I think it might have been Yoyodyne.

The answer I believe to the question-Where was the USS Tsiolkovsky built?-is the Baikonur Cosmodrome in central Russia.
BTW, the USS Valiant had a plaque as well.

The dedication plaques would help me not only for the wonderful and witty quotes but for launch dates of the starships shown to give a continuty, like, for example, the 2 Prometheus' and so forth as well as the other bridges we have seen so far.
