Mim. Reading your entry on the Enterprise A got me wondering... At the end of "The Undiscovered Country" Kirk's logs says "This is the final cruise of the starship Enterprise under my command. This ship, and her history, will soon become the care of another crew." Seems pretty clear from that it's the crew that's being retired, not the ship. Yet, in Generations we see the Enterprise B being taken out for her maiden flight, not ages after TUC (supposedly). So which is it?
Silly writers...

well, another line in TUC states that the ship is to be decommisioned. maybe the "other crew" is the janitorial crew which vacuums the carpet before the ship is torn apart.

Yeah, I think that Kirk's ambiguous line aside, (he was probably just referring to the "legacy" of the ship rather than the actual object) the other dialogue in the film coupled with GEN clearly indicates that the ship was decommissioned. To me anyway...
BTW, I've finished my Starfleet ship listing and have moved it to another server. I started a new thread here. Just so's we don't clutter up the board by having TWO threads open simultaneously, any further discussion about my list should be carried on in the new thread.
