Isn't "akira" the Japanese word for "intelligent" or "smart?"

I don't know, but it is a valid Japanese name. That's my English teacher's son's name. My mom might know what it means. She learned Japanese a few years ago.

Here's my list. It took me a little bit to make it. It's got some little divider pics and a UFP logo at the top, just to make it look a little better.

Because there isn't any evidence for it. Because injokes aren't meant to be canon. Because, despite what a blowup of the MSD in the TNG tech. manual might say, within the context of the series there isn't a hamster on a wheel in main engineering.

Okay, I've updated again. I added the Gander from "Penumbra", added the Bozeman from ST7 and ST8 (which, for some reason, I didn't add after figuring out that it wasn't the same as the one in "Cause and Effect", but a discussion at Sternbach's newsgroup reminded me), and changed the spelling of "Brittain", which I had as "Brattain" for some odd reason... :-)

I ,also, have been maintaining a ship list. Mine is in a Filemaker Pro 4 for macinotsh database with canon and conjectural pictures (I hate blank info). My ship names I got from a variety of sources including Joe Crieghton's site, Frank's ship site, Bernd's ship site and I have only a couple of my own ships because I'm running a Star Trek club. The images are from Lazaro Rojas' ship site and I try to update him on the more canon ships. I would be more than happy to share my database and exchange info with anyone who can further give me info and vice versa. Looking forward to the exchange.

The original could've been turned into a Miranda...actually, the same could have gone for all the Soyuzes (did we ever find out the plural of that, BTW?).

Well, seeing as where you people want to know about the Bozeman, and Soyuz-class ships, I have a novel that explains it. *ducks to avoid getting hit on all fronts from the militant canon crowd* In the novel Ship of the Line, which I must say was very good, Captain Bateson explains the Soyuz-class to Admiral Kirk. He says that Starfleet took 4 Reliant-class frigates and refitted them with more weaponry, more cargo bays, and those sensor pods. Starfleet refitted them for use as border cutters along the Neutral Zone. The Bozeman's assigned route was the Fries-Posnikoff Sector. So, after the Bozeman came through time, Bateson had her permenantly docked at Starbase 12, and all the weapons, engines, and most of the internal systems were taken out so it could be converted into a museum. After the little incident with Kozara and his crew on the Enterprise and after Bateson, Riker, Scotty, Bateson's crew, and some rescued POW's saved the Cardassians, Bateson and his crew were assigned to Starfleet's newest destroyer, the U.S.S. Bozeman II NCC-1941-A,(don't ask about the II after the name, Picard named it) formerly the U.S.S. Roderick, and they assisted in task forces in Generations, and First Contact. There. I hope you people are more informed, and I hope you people wont go hunt me down and kill me for posting something here that's not canon.
