Would that make it a stablemate of the USS Internal Revenue Service and the USS Canadian Customs & Revenue Agency?

But why stop there? Why not have a USS Republican Party, USS Metropolitan Transit Authority, or a USS City of New Orleans?

I have a feeling that this is just going to become a thread of silly ship names. Since this is below me, I'll be leaving... aboard the USS Enron Corporation.

And how do you want to fit this on the ship's saucer? (I can already see the ship - an Intrepid with the name starting at the shuttlebay, running up the neck, across the saucer and back to the shuttlebay.)

Nope, so let's just leave the other names of the Intrepid Class unknown until further notice.

Has anyone yet speculated on the meaning of 'Planform SV-65'??
Planform one supposes refers to this being a plan for a form of ship. 'SV' could stand for 'Space vehicle', or 'vessel', perhaps. Then 65 could mean that this is the 65th such starship class to be designed.
One problem though, 65 is way, way too low. But it's a working theory.

65 different classes from the beginning to Intrepid? Looking at the current status, there seem to be 65 different starship classes in service during the mid-24th century!
Was it the perhaps just name of the project? It could mean the ship was assembled at UP-yard 65, for example. Or there have been 64 designs submitted by the ASDB. but finally Command choose number 65.
