I know, I know, I probably don't need to start a new thread...but I have, it's done, so sue me...er...whatever...
I've gotten everything switched over to the new server and all of Starfleet is up and running. (If you notice any broken links or anything that doesn't appear to be working right, please tell me.) I've updated a few things and what not. (Shik and EdipisReks will be happy to know that I've corrected my rather glaring historical oversight in the Bonhomme Richard entry. ) I've also added a "condensed version" for quick review. I'll try to work on getting at least a good portion of the Federation section up before Thanksgiving.

Just to let you know, somewhere there's a number of 74222 being bandied about for the Sovereign. I know Tom Sasser picked it up for use on his decals, & I think it came from RAST. Not certain, though.

This is one of those things that has been said for a very long time, but never once has anyone come up with conclusive evidence of where it came from or any degree of reliability to it, so I've kind of written it off as fan myth. (It's not like the Intrepid's number, which did come from Sternbach originally despite what has been said to the contrary, and lo & behold it has now come to be used onscreen in Nemesis!) But if you've got any new information, I'm listening...

I had never payed close attention to that casualty list you've got there before, but I did now, and started wondering what exactly happened to the Akagi to 21 people to go missing. Creepy. Also, a battle at a Starbase! There's an unseen thing I'd like to see.
Uh, anyway, yeah.

Excellent work, MMoM. Great reference, and much improved server. I'll put a link up at TBG next update.
Just noticed a few things though... the Bozeman screencap as well as the studio model pics of the Firebrand and Princeton look amazingly like the ones I made. Not that I'm keeping track or anything. And under the Trinculo entry, the episode "Sacrifice of Angels" is called "Sacrifice of Angles." And I don't totally agree with including the retouched images of the Constitutions from the Encyclopedia, but to each his own, I guess.
Overall, pretty sweet.

So you are going with the '5xxxx' registry for the Prometheus?
Wasn't it corrected by Okuda somewhere?
If that is corrected - I wasn the Budapest, Appalacia and the Yeager corrected too. They are ALL 7xxxx's not 5's 6's and 8's.
If they are old ships that have been refit that extensively - why haven't we seen other 4's 5's and 6's upgraded like that!?!
Maybe the Sovereign is really and upgraded Excelsior!?! Not.
The (re)appearance of double-secondary hulls. Forward shuttlebays, not to mention many Defiant, Galaxy, Intrepid and Sovereign-esque features makes me think these are newer ships - post Galaxy.

^ Yeah, that's called an Executive Shuttle in most places, including the canonish Fact Files.
And in the entry for the Danube class U.S.S. Shenandoah it says the ship was "attacked by the Jem�Hadar and destroyed." Well, we don't really know if it was destroyed, it might've just been abandoned, they sorta forgot about it after Jake and Nog were beamed to the Valiant. Since the rest of your list is strictly canon, it might be a good idea to mention that no one said what happened to the ship in the episode, but you presume it was destroyed.
Btw, I like the way you're including info from TAS as well.

A few nits/comments: 1. Princeton is in New Jersey, not Pennsylvania! 2. You should mention the Russian battleship Potemkin rather than or inaddition to the General. Probably better known because of the movie. 3. For Sequoia, I'd mention the guy who developed the Cherokee script, for whom the treee was named. 4. Spector might be named for Phil Spector, the famous record producer. 5. In War of the Worlds, "Thunder Child" is two words. 6.

Spector could be in reference to Gaming Guru Warren Spector. Given the source of the name, perhaps it most likely is.
