This falls right in with the "USS Discovery" thread o' nonsense. face it: there's no new classes of TOS ,TMP, TNG or VOY era ships to be unearthed and grasping at straws or incorrect grammar will not change that.

So certain are we? Have you seen all the computer displays ever made? I don't think so. Until we do, this statement is premature.

Premature prahaps: there could concievably be a display clearly stating a new class. Mabye. This however, is just making classes from thin air. Example: Picard says "Hail them, Mr Worf." so someone here decides to start a thread about the USS Them. The USS Them is undoubtly of the Us class.

Of course there is no U.S.S. Starship.
They hadn't even thought of the 'lead ship becomes class name' stuff yet. It's why I call my pencil a pencil and not an 'Eagle HB **** LX.'
My thoughts exactly.

Why wouldn't they have thought of the "Lead ship becomes class name stuff yet"?!? THAT makes no sense, given that GR had based the bulk of his StarFleet thinking off of modern day US Navy terminology and basic doctrine. In fact, most navies of the world name a class of ship after the lead ship from the 'yards.

The U.S.S. Enterprise was a Constitution Class Mk IX Starship, fullfilling the role of a Class I Heavy Cruiser. And the U.S.S. Federation would for example be a Class I Dreadnought of the Mk X Federation Class Starship.
It's just that this system only allows for about 10 major Starship types in the first decades of the 23rd century (when the Constitution and it's cousins were developed). You could say that it took a few decades for the Federation Starfleet to fully integrate into one agency with one classification system and that this particular system was already abandoned by mid to late 23rd century.

Yes, that's what he believes. And Simon is, in reality, a collection of planets orbiting a sun.

That was hardly any information at all. Good thing you didn't actually see the photograph, or you might actually explode.
