Just a small point; experimental ships don't usually carry weapons and I don't think Starfleet is in to kamikaze attacks (although given the design of the Freedom, I wouldn't blame them ).

ok, now that we have started to talk about the Freedom and Niagra class's I think we should move it to a new thread. If anyone has any other things to add about Shelley or anyother please do.

Why would an experimental ship not carry weapons? Just how did the Excelsior intend to stop the Enterprise from escaping in "Star Trek III"? By calling them rude names over the comm?

Saved themselves from a TAS reference when they would have had Styles yell 'Kirk is a Jerk' on the viewscreen, then have the appropriate lettering beamed onto the good admiral's back.

lol. Sorry; I was thinking of modern aircraft, the famed x-planes never carried weapons (to my knowledge) and neither do prototype combat aircraft.
