Okay, yes there are like 50 different Nova/Equinox topics. But when I got this information on the Equinox I decided to make a new one.
According to Mike Okuda in a letter he sent me regarding the Equniox's registry he told me this -
Registry number was NCC-72381.
The quote on the dedication plaque was:
"The night of time far surpasseth the day." -Sir Thomas Browne, 1658
So maybe this was already revealed in another thread, I'm not going to check all of them to find out. It would take too long. So there you have it though, incase you wanted to know.

That puts her launch somewhere in the second half of TNG's season 5 or so...
Oh, and I love that quote. Love it.

The USS Bradbury, with a registry of NX-72307, was operating in 2366. The USS Equinox, with a registry of NCC-72381, may have been launched after 2366. I am accepting the year 2366 as the lowest point the USS Equinox could have been launched. Considering the data within the episode, I place the USS Equinox's launch as being in 2367.

With the stardates being an unrealiable source of information, I have decided to ignore the stardates. I go by information that is provided by the characters, structural details, and a general history of starships-what starships were operational at what time. For the launching date of the USS Equinox, I went by the information provided by the characters and a general history of starships.

I was just talking about this with the Vorlon. . . basically then, the Equinox must have been quite new when it was lost. And the loss of such a new science vessel in the Badlands could contribute to the idea of the area as a no-go section of space.
So it's only a few years later that they decide to risk a new Intrepid-class ship, with its greater manoeuvrability, and gel-pack circuitry to protect it from feedback and interference caused by local conditions.
