Yes, the ship described in dialog as the Biko has the registry number of the Cochrane, but did the Enterprise-D rendezvous with the Repulse every single time that we saw her flying next to an Excelsior?
I think you are missing my point: The re-use of the Repulse footage is no problem (and, as you said, a necessarity of filmmaking) because the name and/or the registry is not visible on screen. But for the Biko we have a different situation. The registry is indeed visible, at least in 'Drumhead'.

It was later modified for "DS9 The Siege of AR 558" with Starfleet vessels replaced by Klingon and Romulan ships, but the Cochrane is on both lists. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/PWB_Tomal?file=Casualty_list%252C_The_siege_of_AR558_1.jpg
I have to do same investigation on that (where are my DS9-DVDs?).

Yes, the Romulan logo is under the ship names. Praetorial WarBird is my best guess.

Actually, in HD the Repulse's registry is visible as 2544 on the end of the nacelle.

I had some discussion recently regarding the registry that is visible on the hull of the shuttle in 'Identity Crisis' and I thought this could be interesting for you guys as well:

I just want to add that I think it is weird they haven't released anything about season 6. The season 5 had no preview for the 6th season, and usually, within a week or two of the release, the next season's release date has been announced.

It's so funny how everyone says this or that season is so horrible without thinking of the first season at all.

I compared the Tachyon Fleet chart from Redeption, Part II from the Bly Rays with the DVDs and I found that the USS Excelsior is now listed as well. This ship was missing in the original status chart.
On the other hand is the USS Hathaway still not listed on that diagram.
