Jammykins: I'm sure it says on your page - what was the URL again? I'm so desensitized by overspamming these days, casual references tend not to be noticed - that it was destroyed. If the Nebula Farragut ever turns up again, you be sure to sue Okuda, Paramount and Viacom for contradicting you.
The point I'm making is, we didn't see it destroyed. It was only reported as such. So it's not beyond the bounds of probability that it wasn't. The Drake was reported destoyed yet turned up again on DS9. The registry of the Yamato was reported as NCC-1305-E. The Defiant was reported as being 170m when it was shown for three years as 120m.
Can we just be a little bit flexible now and then?

I think we've already covered this in another SWDAO, or a thread I created. More than likely here were two, but the Encyclopaedia says it was the same one. So either the Enc II is wrong (unheard of!) or the ship survived - its fate was left rather vague in "The Arsenal of Freedom."
But the details aren't important here. The point I'm trying to make is that not everything is certain.

I've thought about that, Michael_T. The Excelsior Farragut could have been decommissioned when the Nebula Farragut entered service (or earlier). But it just doesn't seem right to pull those old ships out of retirement when the newer one gets blown to hell (if that was the fate of the Nebula Farragut. She might not have been completely destroyed like The First One said).

If there is no actual dialog stating that the Nebula class Faragut was destroyed--completely disentergrated--then we shouldn't assume that it was. Klingons don't always kill the one's they do battle with. Kirk was ordered by Klingon commanders on some occasions to surrender his ship. Kirk never did, but if he did, I doubt the Klingons would have opened fire. That would be cowardly and dishonest.

Well, some Klingons seem to have differing ideas of what is and is not honorable...

Who says the Excelsior Class USS Farragut was decommissioned before Starfleet built a Nebula Class Farragut. Look at the Lexington ships: there was a Constitution Class one that was destroyed, an Excelsior Class one that met with the Enterprise-D, and the Nebula Class one that docked at Deep Space Nine.

No, the encyclopedia claims there was an Excelsior-class one, but it was never seen, and canonical evidence suggests (quite convincingly) otherwise.
