Has anyone information for the following ships? The Nebula and Defiants from MiaB, the Nebula from "Non Sequitur", the Constellation from Picard's Ready Room with the 7xxx-Number.
Has anyone pictures of dedication plaques?

It's hard to make out in this image, but it's fourth from the bottom, if you have this episode ("Whispers" (DS9)) on tape: http://frankg.dgne.com/sff/whispers.jpg

The Nebula is NCC-70915. And the Constellation was NCC-7100.

And maybe HMS is actually part of the name. Like, SS HMS Lord Nelson?
And, as for the "Whispers" list, can anyone can some of the captains listed there? I would like those for my list

Well, anything that is in an episode or film is canonical. This list of ships from "Up the Long Ladder" is canonical. I like that Mr. Okuda named a ship after a great civil rights leader-WEB DuBois. He is a person I admire very much. And adding to the list of unknown starships is the Oberth Class USS Valiant NCC-20000 from Star Trek: Generations. I saw a model of this ship in a documentary filmed at ILM many years ago. Yet another unknown starship is the USS Cochrane from "The Drumhead". ------------------

Something about the WEB DuBois... Making "WEB" the prefix is, at the least, rather silly. Perhaps we can assume that the ship is actually named the W.E.B. DuBois, and there is some other prefix before it (USS, SS, whatever). However, some fool who keeps docking records at DS9 asked "What ship is this?" and the reply was "The W.E.B. DuBois." and the officer thought that "W.E.B." was some prefix he had never heard of.

Thanx pIn'a' Sov. No Ship-Yard on the E-B-plaque? Is it the San Francisco FY or the Antares FY? What's the Yard of the Prometheus? Aren't there plaques of the Pasteur, Phoenix, Yamato, Tsiolkovsky, Stargazer, Hathaway and the Equinox?

In the age of DVDs and high resolution televisions and other digital whatnots, I'm not so sure we can say that everything onscreen is canon...I mean, we have to leave some room for injokes and the like, don't we?
