That quoted sentence could have two meanings from Darkwing's brain.
1. He's read the thread and saying that it really does make sense as SS as we had all thought instead of USS as the drawing indicates.
2. He's never read the thread/seen the pic and assumes pIn'a' Sov made the mistake of calling it USS instead of SS which he believes is true but is actually USS from the picture.
I'm hoping he actually meant the first thought as thought number two would mean Darkwing posted without going through the entire thread first and in now looking stupid.

Well, Mim has basically summed it down to proving my second meaning of Darkwing's statements and that he never looked at anything. Can I say he's an idiot now?

What is the source of SS Enterprise? Only the encyclopedia? Because the Spaceflight Chronology always had the ship listed as USS Enterprise.

I know S.S. is in the Encyclopedia but I can't say if that's the only source or not. (What did The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture say?) Anyway, it's obviously U.S.S..
