It could have been just a general silouette for a Starfleet ship, rather than referring to it's actual class.

Personally, I don't believe that there are any other refit-constitutions out there. Sure, we can see bucket loads of Ambassador's, original constitutions, Excelsior's, and Galaxy's, but we're only allowed to see ONE refit-constitution? Yeesh.

In the revised version of the STNG Companion, it states in the Nakes Now episode that the Tsvolsky did have a dedication plaque but it was sent to the home city where Tscolsky was born.

Actually, the ship chart I was referring too was the one on the Enterprise-A's bridge, which could be seen throughout Star Trek VI, yet not close enough to be readable by my recollection. It had ship name, then registry number, then class. The class part would be the important one...

"...Tsvolsky....Tscolsky..."

Well, out of a possible 11 correct letters for each try, you scored a 7 and 6 respectively.

However, the 'c' in the second attempt warrants a -1, and the 'ol' between the 'v' and 'sky' in the first one nabs you a -2. Without being so mean as to take away marks for length, you scored a 10 out of 22.

That's an F.

After reading your last reply, I feel the frustration that I often have when this topic arises.
Yes
1. the chart is on the bridge.
2. the chart has the following information-ship names, classes, and registries.
3. the chart is readable enough that the above information can be gained.
No
1. No difference.
2. the chart has the ship names and registries.
3. the chart is not readable.


Which is it?
And further, where is this chart located on the bridge? In operations, perhaps? I remember this question being asked before with no answer. I have seen the movie many times and have never been able to see the chart.
If the chart is unreadable, then how can you or anyone know what is on the chart?

In my opinion, present or ask someone to present the information with evidence. Then let everyone decide.

I return to a question. Why doesn't Mr. Okuda present these ships in the encyclopedia?

Maybe Bjo Timble, writer of the ST Concordance, had access to the list.

I think the same thing. Bjo Trimble did have access to the first series sets.

I wish someone would print a complete book of Okudagrams

The okudagram on the bridge of the Enterprise-A is repeated at nearly every station around the circumference of the bridge. I believe it can be most clearly seen whenever we get close up shots of Uhura, it's usually over her shoulder. I know it's a ship chart because we are close enough to tell that it is set up similar to the TNG ship list, and even the fact that the list says USS before every name can be made out. The only ship I can pretty much confirm as being on the list is USS Constellation NX-1974, Constellation class, because 1) This is the only registry number that is shortened by being NX instead of NCC) and 2) the class name is extremly long. As for the rest, I dunno, I could get out my ST6 widescreen and look for all the shots of this list, see what I can get.
