Hey, maybe the Raging Queen is a 'fake' to cover the real name. They still had the new Defiant running as NX-74205, probably to confuse the enemy. Maybe they did the same here. They cover the real name, assing double registries and stuff to make the enemy believe they have more ships than they really have. Besides, if you were a Jem'Hadar, would you see the difference between a ship named 'USS Thomas Paine' and 'Raging Queen'? That's pretty much the same for you.
Raging Queen. Hmmm. Why didn't they just call it 'USS Janeway'? (I suppose they named the ship to honor Voyager's Captain, right?)
So we have the Elkins (Constitution/Intrepid), finally a Yeager with registry, a new Shelley, the Raging Queen, a Constitution variant, without name, a Centaur, with another name (can anyone confirm 'Genesis'?), and the Medusa/Chimera. Do we have a name for her?

Yeah, sorry. I've amended my initial post.

I'm sure there's a Dominion Secret Service. And I'm sure they want to keep track of Starfleet Operations. I would want to know which ship with which captain I just destroyed, for example. To calculate and estimate what the enemy conciders to do next.

Didn't we go through this back when the Prometheus first appeared?

Do I hear a "Dominion War Kitbash Project" coming up in the spirit of "Wolf 359 Project" ?

This is the only scan I could find of the fleet from A Time To Stand:
Anyway, I was going to say that no. 2. could be the Raging Queen - with similar desruction patterns, but I had another look at the Shelly/Curry and it does seem that the nacelle pylons are out at an angle... So I look at no. 2 again and think well, the peak of the saucer section does match a intrepid, so this could indeed be the nasty 'constitution'/intrepid kit bash.
Can I ask WHY is it a connie/intrepid kitbash - does the 'secondary hull' really look like something from a Constitution class? or are they just going by the connie nacelles?

The secondary hull is a backwards A-wing fighter out of Star Wars...

LUG also has a two nacelled Niagara that looks like a baby galaxy.. so i dont give them much credit on overriding other canon.. besides, weve already dicussed the implications of taking a preexisting okudagram class name and applying it to a design that Okuda didnt really intend to be named that class: being proved wrong when he does reveal what it is.
