The 2nd digit looks like a 3....but doesn't the 3rd digit, which looks like a 0, look a tad bit too thing compared to the other numbers?

::Wonders what he started::

So we got 4201 or 4281? Although I have to agree with Matt, the second number looks like a 3. NCC-4301 possibly.

It also looks to me like NCC-4301, but the number is printed so small that it might be distorted.

Hm... I'm pretty sure it's 42, but 43 is a possibility.

Granted, what's between the 2/3 and the 1 looks like one digit, it does seem too skinny. It could be one digit distorted, or it could be two 1's distorted. Tough call...

Very tough call. The blown up image looks like 4301. But the image from The Magazine looks like 4201. Maybe we should just flip a coin and get it over with.

I see it as 43181 or 4281, depending on how I look at it.

If it is 4xxx the ship would be horribly old (and very lucky not to have been destroyed/decommissioned). 4xxxx would be far more fitting considering the registries of the other existing Excelsiors.

The USS Repluse (NCC-2544) was still in service in season 2 of TNG, and the USS Roosevelt (NCC-2573) was at Wolf 359.

I find it unlikely that we are dealing with a four-digit number. Reason: the second digit looks a bit thicker than the rest, leading me to believe that it's actually 21 or 31 (the other two are likely 01). Reason #2 - we've seen 4xxxx registries in Excelsiors before, and I doubt that the Foundation folks would want to break a pattern just like that or bother to compress the numbers, as opposed to simply changing the last couple of digits from existing computer models.

Maybe they just haven't painted on the 5th number yet.

Hi there everyone, I�m new here so this is my first question. Someone mentioned seeing something that resembled the sphinx worksled from st:tng tech manual in the pics from utopia planitia fleetyards. Since I�m from Sweden and no tv network shows star trek here, I�m wondering if anyone has a picture of that screenshot showing the possible sphinx worksled?

Hi

I just had a look at the registry on the excelsior class ship and i believe it has 4 digits like NCC-4381.
What do you guts think?
