Assuming you're limiting yourself just to ships seen onscreen, whether we've seen their bridges or not...Hathaway? The Nebula-class Prometheus? Valley Forge? Hood? Thunderchild? Endeavour? Farragut? Kyushu? Princeton? Melbourne? Firebrand? Rhode Island? Bellerophon?

Well the Hood certainly deserves one, it's appeared often enough. I was thinking maybe the Rutledge too, perhaps to a bunch of "former postings" ships, since I've already done the Stargazer. Let's see, what other former postings do we know about? Al-Batani? Republic? Victory? Trieste? Okinawa? Destiny?
Was there ever a canon registry established for the T'Kumbra?

Yeah...the Grissom one I dig. I was wondering how you were gonna handle it. Nice call on making Destiny a Sovereign.
Decided to change the quote on the new Defiant, eh? What is it, "Fortune emboldens"?
Haha...now I'm really looking at the names on the Grissom plaque. Cute choices,

HerbShrump, my brother used to collect $2 bills. I thought they were fake when he showed me his first one. He used to have 5 or 6...they were cool.

Since I first saw the Surak-Class on ENT I've held the belief that the Oberth was a mostly Vulcan design, so I took this opportunity with the Grissom's plaque to cement that idea.
I think the motto for the Defiant translates as "fortune favours the bold". I thought about using a Les Mis quote, but couldn't find anything good. But that's Victor Hugo for you.
As for the Destiny, I thought there should be a reason why a ship (that rates one and a half counsellors) is running passengers/wounded to and from the front lines and the core worlds. So I thought perhaps a Sovereign adapted for hospital ship duty is big enough to take care of itself (so if doesn't need a Defiant escort) and fast enough to make the journey in decent time. Of course it could just as easily have been a Nebula, Intrepid or that Yeagar monstrosity, but I wanted a Sovereign to be doing SOMETHING in the war.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find out who's name on the Pasteur's dedication plaque comes between David Livingston and Peter Lauritson. The initials look like M.P. or N.P. other than that I can't tell.
