I hate teasing-headlines, but since you came in, you can also read on.
The topic is the starship Yeager. I mean the kitbash. With the registry of NCC-65674 it's far below those of the Intrepid-registries (even USS Elkins has an Itrepid-like registry), so how do we explain it?
(We can be sure that - during 2372, the events of the battle of sector 001 - Starfleet has already gone beyond the 65xxx-field, possibly something around 75xxx. In other words: both ships must have been active during the same time, either before, during or after the events of FC. And don't tell me to check the Encyclopedia for the letter 'M' like 'Melbourne'. )

How about saying that the DS9 Yeagar was originally called something else (U.S.S. lollypop...for the sake of arguement). After the Battle of Typhon the surviving crew of the destroyed Sabre-class ship were assigned to the U.S.S. Lollypop and were granted special permission to rename her in honour of their old ship that was lost in battle.

But of course that still doesn't explain whay an Intrepid variant would have such a low reg in the first place...

What if the whole 65xxx-ship was heavily damaged in some battle and the entire saucer had to be replaced with a new saucer? Since no other saucer was available, they took an Intrepid-saucer.
Don't tell me you didn't know the original configuration was a Maquis-fighter attached to an Ambassador-saucer!

So?

Unless of course the reg system is kaputz in the first place.

So why is a less-than Intrepid-esque registry Tizzy-inducing?

Because the Galaxy took 20 years to finish, the Intrepid did not. If the Nebula started construction at the same time as the Galaxy, you can be sure they finished her earlier. But the Intrepid didn't take that long, And the registry predates the Intrepid by at least 10 years.

Yes. That's my pet theory, anyway.

Which episode was this in again?
OK, OK, but we're talking about a small starship, not a multi-purpose exploration vessel. I'm sure it didn't take that long to construct her. But the Yeager says that the entire saucer was ready and space-worthy when they cam up with the 65xxx-numbers, which should have been around stardate 40250, according to Phoenix's dedication plaque.
Since Voyager was lauched stardate 48xxx, what did they do in eight years? The hull must have been already completed, and there is not enough 'new stuff' inside the ship besides the neural gel packs. Galaxy got virtually everything new, from holodecks to phaser systems.
