I remember hearing that this one was visible onscreen. Anybody have a vidcap or the contents at the least?
Thanks, Boris

"Give me liberty or give me death"? That SOOO cheesily patriotic. They should have put something by Benjamin Franklin instead.
BTW, that's stardate 52888.3? Am I wrong, or is this the first starship that wasn't commissioned at noon? (.5)

The number behind the point has absolutly nothing to do with the time of the day.

Maybe they had a busy schedule that day and couldn't launch the ship at noon...?

Well, if you were to trust Gene Roddenberry and the Star Trek Phase II Writers' Bible, a stardate is roughly a day and 1313.5 is noon on one day, while 1314.5 is noon on the next day. But yes, of course, I was just joking. Still, a stardate *can* be a day long occassionally, as we've seen in numerous TNG episodes.
BTW, I looked up the episode's stardate in the James Dixon timeline and it's on 52861.3 that Sisko was given command over the Sao Paulo. Maybe I've misread something and it's 52388.3?

Fabrux: Ohmygod....
Caltech has Version 6. The latest one is Version 12, including everything through the end of DS9 and the fifth season of Voyager. Go to http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Crater/2077/scifi.htm for the latest version and a bunch of other James Dixon files.

and what is the registry NCC-45...!! - is that our first 45?
Oh, and maybe they did away with the tradition of the noon launch, because of the war. ------------------ "The story..." Londo says, "is not over yet. The story is never over."

There are better images of the plaque out there, BTW, but I don't know of the URLs of any.
