Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

Well the nacelles aren’t detached 100% of the time.

In the trailer for next week’s episode they appear to be attached again in one shot.
They may detach to create a more efficient warp field. That actually makes sense.
 
We get two new class names in this latest episode. One I am sure of, the other I am not so sure of. The first is the Intrepid-class, which is seen on a wall panel at about 42:48. The second is the Constitution-class, which is seen earlier at 27:55-28:00. The problem here is that the video has focus issues on my computer, so sometimes it will be clear and other times it becomes fuzzy.

I saw the display for the Voyager-J, which indeed lists it as Intrepid class. However, the displays of the ‘Constitution’ type and other ships were too far away to make out any details. No class name was visible to my eyes.

Other observations:

At the start of the episode there’s part of the hull of a ship with the registry that looks like NCC-326072, with a name that looks like USS Handanoo (that’s probably not the name: that’s the best I can make out.)

90% of the wrecked ships were the Hiawatha-type. I also made out some Hoover and Cardenas classes, and an unknown design that looks like a Miranda class but isn’t. The dialogue states that these ships were active until the Burn, which I’m guessing either means that 900 year old ships were still in service for some reason, or we’re supposed the pretend that they’re not the same classes from the 23rd century. The implication with all the old tech being scavenged and the direct reference in dialogue that these ships are ancient seems to indicate the former.

The registry number on the black box looks to be NCC-316XXX.

Though the S31 command bridge could've been the redressed Kelvin atrium in the first place (they also re-used the elaborate TMP sets for two solid decades...).

Into Darkness was filmed in LA. Discovery is filmed in Toronto. They're not going to ship an entire set across the continent just to reuse it.
 
And wasn't that memory stick that Burnham picked up on that one planet NCC-344XX or something like that?

...Indeed, it almost looked as if the text were in the nonsense lettering Book prefers!

Is the leftmost ship the "new Constitution" at all, or rather some type that is even closer to the old one? The gaps and their bridges in the saucer don't seem all that evident.

Hmh? Not really. The ships are said to be "old as dirt", is all. Sure, Burnham speaks of there being ship graveyards like this "caused by the Burn", but in this case it's more likely that a few modern ships visiting a salvage yard of ancíent ones went kaboom in the middle of the merchandise.

After all, the point here is that the ancient ships did NOT go kaboom. They are all intact, which as far as we have been told is the antithesis of "active", come Burn.

Well, to extend a hand of beliveability to this, that particular planet may have been a "graveyard" like the supply depot from Unification and just had the ships orbiting for century's True they should have been processed, but the finding of the 24th century phaser leads credence to the theory.
 
It would seem appropriate for this depot to specialize in a narrow range of products, for the commercial angle: if Osyraa wants to unload ancient junk, it probably won't sell as well if it's just a back shelf on an outlet offering modern material. And if she wants to give Tolor a job, better isolate that one from the main business just in case.

Loving the design of that yellow transport, BTW. Vibes of Mudd's ship in both TOS-R and ST:ID there. Seems these ships make the Abramsverse preparing-for-warp sound now...
