Pity they didn't show the Carolina. We don't know much about it, otherwise. Captain's name is Peterson (?) and it wasn't equipped to close a geodesic fold, our new Treknology-of-the-week.

Well, at least there is another Carolina. Hopefully it doesn't cause as much of a hassle as the original...

The original USS Carolina was from TOS's "Friday's Child", and is said to be a Daedalus class in the Encyclopedia, but can't be because Daedalus class was retired in 2196, so we don't know what class Carolina is now.
Then the Encyclopedia II came out, and the entires had always said her registry number was NCC-160, but then a picture in the Encyclopedia said it's registry was NCC-235! Painted on a Daedalus class ship, BTW. So, the Carolina has really been botched up a bunch over Trek history.

I'm delighted to hear that the Ferengi Marauder is back in action. Any idea if this was stock footage, new shots of the original model, new model, or perhpas CGI?
USS Carolina NCC-160 Daedalus-class. Used by the Klingons in a hoax to prevent the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from returning to Capella IV.
The Daedalus was retired in 2196 so what's this ship doing in the 23rd century? My theory is that it wasn't. There was no Carolina, the Klingons made it up. My guess is they had very old intelligence on Starfleet and didn't know that the class was retired. I doubt that Scotty would automatically know off the top of his head that the Carolina was a retired class unless he looked it up in the ship's computer.
About the other NCC-235 registry. I think this was just a simple mistake. Much like the USS Yeager NCC-81947 registry of the Saber-class diagram.
As for the Carolina mentioned in Voyager, it's obviously a different class. It's not like Starfleet reusing names is unheard of.

My remembrance of Friday's Child is that the U.S.S. Carolina is an active duty starship on neutral zone patrol in 2267. I will review the episode and give a definitive answer later.
