We waited 7 years for that?
Anyways, is being able to call up 18 ships with 9 on the way a good number? They should have been more ships, like a couple hundred, even just for effect. For godsakes, it WAS the last episode.

Go back to the armour that was in the Batman movie (1989), In think that was the first time we see something like that.

So, uhm, that pesky little Intrepid class shippy took out the entire Unamatrix One? Sure.. Oh, BTW, that armour looks ridiculous on the Voyager.
Is that armour SF tech, BTW?

SC-4 I think this ship had a name. Or so it seemed. There was writing under the starboard window. Maybe. Before going into space, she is housed at the Oakland Ship Yards. She sports the latest in SF armament-F-117 technology (if you know the F-117, you know what I am referring to), the "cool-ass" hull shielding, and the new torpodoes-transphasic. I don't know what this. I do know that a Borg ship can be killed with these mother frellers. Now, that I think about. The F-117 effect-is that a cloaking device?
USS Rhode Island Named after a battleship, or two battleships. I know there was a USS Rhode Island in WW II. Her registry is NCC-72xxx. Her class appears to be Nova Class.
Starfleet fleet For a fleet defending Earth and ordered to open fire with 'extreme prejudice', they seemed to be floating in space waiting to be picked off by the Borg sphere. Only one registry-the Nebula-can be barely seen.

we don't know if the tech would do as well against the borg in the same future timeline
we know the borg still exists and from what is said the specific tech was designed to fight them---but how useful is it against future borg--probably not as powerful as one torp per cube.

Let's start something else...let's compare the Nova Class that Captain Kim commands to the Nova Class that Captain Ransom blew up.
And the shuttle Janeway had came from Starfleet Communications. But why the hell is she and Barcley teaching a class about the Borg there?

AFAIK, the only two differences were that Harry's ship had a dome for a bridge while Ransom's had a sunken-in bridge a la the Defiant. Also, the bow of the Rhode Island was curved all the way around, unlike the Equinox which was angled inwards in the front where the secondary deflector was located.
If Targetemployee is correct about the registry (72XXX), then the Rhode Island was probably built in the 24th century at the same time the Equinox was, and is just a variant, not an upgrade.

And on that topic, which ship classes have variants? The ones I could come up with are:
Constitution Miranda Excelsior Ambassador Galaxy Nebula Nova Intrepid (maybe, if the "Yeager" class is unofficial)
