The only place I can recall seeing "Kongo" was on the decals for the AMT model of the TOS Enterprise.

Someone also told me this on the TrekBBS. And remember, Whitfield was an employee of AMT at the time he wrote the book! So, the REALLY REALLY important question is: Did the model kit (the one that included decals for Kongo) come out before or after The Making of Star Trek was written?
Maybe Whitfield just based his list on the decal list. What other names were included? Specific registry numbers? Anything else?
Of course, if the kit wasn't produced until after the book, then they probably just used the book as a reference for the decals...
Anyone know anyone who would know about this kind of thing? IDIC page and other model refernce sites seem to have nothing on this.

No, the "really, really important question" is, "What does it matter? And why all the anality about things?" Really, your OCD is beginning to terrify & irk me. Simmah.
