Does anyone have the sketches of the USS Bozeman from the Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission? I want to see what the producers or artists had in mind before reusing the USS Reliant model.

There were no Bozeman sketches in that book about an alternate to the Miranda Class. There was only the one mentioned above in which a fan publication top view Miranda was doodled over to show where the sensor pods might go.

What they had in mind was that they were going to have the Bozeman be a TOS-style Constitution class, I suppose because they wanted the Old Trek Ship/New Trek ship kinda meeting. However, they deemed it cost-prohibitive at the time to build a brand-new TOS Connie model (and bridge set) for just one episode, so they had Greg Jein adapt the Reliant model, & just used the movie Enterprise bridge, which I think still existed at the time. I'm not sure that the ship would have been named "Bozeman" if they actually did use a Connie, though.

The Battle Bridge was a redress of the movie Enterprise bridge.

Not this one. The Bozeman bridge was a re-dress of one of their "swing" sets, and while it used a small number of elements from the movie Enterprise bridge set, it was almost completely different. This particular set has been seen as the SECOND Enterprise-D battle bridge (the first was mostly the movie set), the Pasteur, the Hathaway, the E-C, and others.

Huh. I always thought it was the same set, just modified over time (especially since the movies no longer required the "original" movie bridge after the third movie).

Not exactly... With the first incarnation of the battle bridge all they did was use the aft third of the original set with the lighting grid they had overhead, building the other two thirds new. In the second season, the aft third was partially rebuilt (adding the inward-sloping upper bulkheads and removing the turbolift alcoves) in time for its use in episodes like "Measure of a Man" as the courtroom, modified again to be the lab in "Pen Pals", and once more to move the floor down and replace the rest of the walls in time to be the Hathaway bridge in "Peak Performance". By the time it showed up the following season as Data's lab, the Enterprise-C bridge, etc., there really wasn't much left of the original set.
