As you can see, pretty much just familiar illustrations from the Encyclopedia and such, but there they are all the same. Note the use of the Peregrine/Federation fighter as the "Academy Flight Trainer," originally an error from the Encyclopedia, but perhaps suggesting that they are used in this capacity along with the design from "The First Duty" (TNG). In addition, the Defiant is referred to as a "battleship" (!) and there is an onscreen confirmation of the TOS Romulan vessel being called a "Bird-of-Prey."
Starship Freak requested that I post additional caps from "Sacrifice of Angels" (DS9) showing the other ships seen on the Defiant bridge station screens besides the Olympic. So here they are:

Is this also our first canon proof of the existence of K'Vort class Klingon BoPs in the regular universe?
Too bad the captionings are so unimaginative here. This would have been an excellent chance to give a proper name to, say, the Cardassian freighter design (even if it was a silly in-joke of a name)...

On the K'Vort issue, the answer is yes from a chronological perspective ("Drone" was the first instance) but no in terms of the "is this the only proof" question. There was another display in "Penumbra" (DS9) that designated the Koraga as K'Vort-class.

The Maquis don't really seem to be the sort of organization to make everyone on the ship stand for class pictures, and then neatly save them in the ship's computer.
But the knowing the name of the ship is kind of cool.

That source would be Jeri Taylor's "canonical" novels. So no major continuity problem there...
Canon now says "Ju'day class Val Jean", which I'm quite happy with. Of course, Chakotay (or perhaps Eddington, if he was the chief starship purchaser of the Maquis) must be the originator of that name, and may have renamed the ship more than once. Ju'day sounds like an alien name (don't tell Penny), so the proper name of the ship may have been originally alien, too.

Well, see, the Fact Files always called it the S.S. Zola, but there was never any onscreen reference for this. I've seen repeated claims that an early draft of the script for "Parallax" contained one, but this has never been substantiated, and the aired episode yields no clue. (All the sources I've seen claiming this basically seem to take the attitude "the Fact Files don't just make stuff up, so it must have come from somewhere" and then just cite the oft-repeated "Parallax" reference.)
In any case, the "Repression" display is (AFAIK, please correct me anybody if you know otherwise) the only onscreen reference to the name of the vessel. Of course, if you believe Pathways is canonical then there's a contradiction with that book stating the ship was the Antares-class Liberty. But let's not go there...

Here's a cool one that I found. I'll try to follow up and see if there's anything more to be gleaned (the screen scrolls) in the next couple of days.
It's the oft-mentioned science station display from the Enterprise-B in Star Trek: Generations. It's actually legible on the SCE DVD:
quote:VEHICLE ID: S.S. ROBERT FOX REG NUMBER: NFT-1327 REGISTRY: EL-AURIAN VEH CLASS: WHORFIN FLT START: (XXXX.X) DESTINATION: SOL III MANIFEST: (XXX) PASSENGERS (XX CREW)
The last two figures should add up to 265 in accordance with the dialogue. As I said, the screen scrolls and gives more information, and probably the Lakul's info as well. I'll have to take some screenshots of my own to get the rest, though.

Do you have the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion? If so, you will find the stardate for flight start for both ships.
