Don't forget in Star Trek III, there was the new shuttlepod in Space Dock, not to mention the appearence of one of the 'excelsior try-outs' in the background and that 'cargo ship' seen sitting by one of the spacedock's inside prongs...

Oh yeah!

It wasn't an Excelsior prototype, it was a Constitution prototype. The one from Phase II. (Look in the Art of Star Trek. It was the one on the top, the slightly longer one. Both it and the other one, and a bunch of Excelsior prototypes were later at Wolf 359 and Qualor II.)

And that freighter interests me very much. It would be cool if someone could do a drawing. The thing even has 2 connie-style nacelles visible in this pic from tAoST:

The freighter is in the lower center, below the observation window, between the Ent and the Exc.

We've all seen this image many times. We've argued about this "ship" many, many times. And this is the only time I'm going to tell you:

LINK LARGE IMAGES!

Umm, what? That wasn't large enough for ya? Or did you mean to have a DO NOT in there somewhere?

I know the ship has been looked at before, I just wanted to post a pic 'cause the subject came up.

From the quotations around "ship" in your post, am I to glean that you are one of the sad individuals who cannot see that it is one?

If you are not, I apologize, no offense is intended.

When I say "link large images" I mean to link to them, as in use a little thing called an < a href > tag or a [ URL ] tag, not post it inline.

And I said "ship" because there are some people who think it is a ship, and there are some people who don't. I could go either way. I just didn't want to incite a riot.

Ah, I see.

Next time I'll link.

In fact, on second thought, I'll go back and do it now.

Well I'll be damned! TSN beat me to it. Sorry, Tim, I was just about to do that.

YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT THAT SHIP IS?!!! IT'S THE ENTERPRISE! IT SAYS ON THE SIDE!!!

Seriously, it looks like some sort of cargo freighter, with four or so containers. The bridge is that thing with the windows in front.

The only thing I see there is 3 of those little shuttles.

Here, Shik:

Star Trek III Mystery Ship

I cropped the original picture and circled the supposed ship in a red-ish oval.

I've showed it to people before, and they've said they can't see the nacelles, but if you look closely, you can see them. They are obviously smaller versions of the Connie refit type, and they protrude from each side near the front. You can see the whole of the portside one, and the tip of the starboard peeking out from behind the front end.

Does anyone have a pic of the Connie prototype ship that was in there, too? (In this pic, the Ent has pulled in front of it already.)

Here's the same picture I posted earlier, but I've included an inset of the supposed cargo barge and highlighted the port nacelle.

Gack! You think that's a ship?? I always saw it as part of Spacedock.

Well, in the actual video, it's not as clear and it's quite hard to tell, but in this publicity still you can see rather well.

Hey Siggy? Can you high light the starboard nacelle as well?

Can anyone draw a schematic? I think there is a sufficient view to extrapolate the overall shape. Someone who likes to draw up that sort of thing?
