I reproduced the period until three Romulan warbirds appears with the photon torpedoes from the Sutherland and withdraw, after one ship broke away, the network collapsed completely and all federation ships retreated to gamma eridon.
Moreover, since the ship "USS Ahwahnee" lost in the battle of wolf 359 in the fleet, I put constellation class USS Valkyrie without the ship's name into the tactical display replacing.

- What's the problem with the Ahwahnee being the sole survivor of Wolf 359 and showing up here? (We know there was a survivor and the Encyclopedia's pegging of the Endeavour as this ship is merely an oversight.)

Even Okuda admitted that the Ahwahnee's number used on the display was an error and was supposed to be the original number on the model... so it's his belief that the Ahwahnee here is the same Ahwahnee from BOBW.

Though the Ahwahnee has survived at the wolf 359, none of other ships is the Constellation class ship among the tachyon network fleet.
I decided that it was better to exchange Cheyenne class the Ahwahnee which has four nacelle like the Constellation class starship.

Spelling of "Tian Nan Men" and "Merrimac" was changed into the notation of the encyclopedia.

The Constellation was the U.S.S. Hathaway NCC-2593 (the registry is visible in the episode) and the names being retconned in the Encyclopedia really should not take precedence over the canonical ones.

Although, really, the latter was never visible on screen, while the former was, so, if one wanted to be strictly canonical...

You don't have to switch out the Ahwahnee for the Valkyrie/Hathaway. True, there is no Constellation Class in the Detection Grid schematic we saw on the show, but then again, there were only 17 ships in the grid animation but at least two dialogue references in the episode tell us there were actually 23 starships that were part of the blockade. Maybe some were advanced scouts or some were a dragnet held back away from the other 17?

For some strange reason I hadn't really thought of it that way TSN, but you're right. Of course, by that reasoning, the Prometheus (as I have always said) should indeed be NX-59650 and not NX-74913...

Wasn't it supposed to be the Excalibur, Riker's ship, that was falling back for repairs?
Very sweet indeed, though!

Actually I recall counting from the Romulan display something like 23 (or more than 17, anyway) Starfleet emblems on their tactical display. Regardless the numbers did keep changing and did seem rather inconsistant at times.
