How did I find this pic so fast? Because the ship is just a re-use of the "Flea" ship from some half-rate Voyager episode. The only two differences are that the Romulan version has holo-emitters on the hull, and the color is green (although, strangely, it's the olive-green color of Klingon ships rather than the lime-green color of the Romulan ships in "Minefield" and the D'Deridexes). So that explains why this ship doesn't even look vaguely Romulan.

Which means that this episode really features no new designs at all. >.<;;
"The Fight"? That's the Chakotay Boxing episode. Wierd, I don't even remember there being another ship in that episode. Given its placement in Voyager though, at the time it was probably a lower-res ship seen in the background or something. Give it new textures, a few new roundish emmitters, and voila! No one will notice.

I find it strange that Enterprise did reasonably well fighting the Romulan Fleaship, which had no problem destroying two Imperial Guard ships...
The photon torpedoes seem to give Enterprise parity with the supposedly more advanced races.

Hey, I just downloaded the preview for "United" seen at the end of the UPN broadcast of this episode. It's not exactly a spoiler, but it gives us something to look forward to. Towards the beginning of the preview, there's a shot of Enterprise surrounded by Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite ships. There's a familiar and long-missed design in the lower left.

Okay! Woo! I just finished watching "Babel One" - OMG It was FANTASTIC! WOO!
Yes, yes - everything everyone has said above. Loved it all.
References to T'Pol's marriage. Reed liking her bum. Romulans, Tellarites, Vulcans, Humans, Denobulans, Andorians! WOO!
That pull back was FANTASTIC. For a moment there I thought they may have stumbled into either an alternate bridge or one that was some-how out of phase with the real one that Trip and Reed stumbled into.
BOTH Romulan Logos were seen!! The TNG Blue and Green (superior one I might add) was seen on bulk-heads etc. The Nemesis design was etched into the bulkhead. Maybe it's more of a Emperial Seal sort of thing?
When they mentioned why the Romulans cared about disrupting talks between Andorians and Tellarites - I thought "future guy!" for a split second!
Tellarites - they were great - they have REALLY fleshed out this species in just one episode. GREAT!
Anyone catch the reference by Shran to "spouses"? Remember Andorians have a weddings that involve 4 people! The creators have done their homework people!
Enterprise is GREAT!

Well, I'm not so sure it was meant to refer to the Andorian foursome wedding so much as he meant that more than one of his 86 crew was married, and he knew their spouses.

I think it was in the StarTrek.com's synopsis and cast list, although not revealed yet, that the Romulan commander played by Brian Thompson, will be named 'Valdore', yet another of the many Nemesis references in this episode arc. ...so that's who they name their newest Warbird's after...

I'm sure we've previously had the discussion of just how many science fiction appearances Brian Thompson has made.
If we're lucky, the Romulan holoship's origin will be left obscure, and we can assume they stole it from somewhere, thus explaining its appearance.

Brian Thompson was also the alien wanting Kira in a holonovel in "Rules of Acquisition" and a Jem'Hadar in "To The Death". He's also been on Charmed and Birds of Prey.

Unfortunately, the second Romulan stated that the ship was a prototype, implying that it is, in fact, a Romulan vessel.
