Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

Or you could make a joke that’s actually funny. Or something.

Or you could not take it all so seriously. Or something.

Who cares if Starfleet reuses names for ship classes,. It's been 1000 years and Starfleet has probably had thousands of different starship classes at this point. Maybe the Constitution class was named as such as an attempt to reinvigorate the Federation after the temporal war and harken back to a time when peace and exploration where the key missions of the Federation.
 
Now that we have better images/renderings of the various classes, I can't figure out how this piece of debris from "That Hope Is You, Part I" fits on a Constitution-class ship. If one looks closely, the "bridge", the struts and the notched saucer don't match anything I know. Any thoughts?

I'm gonna guess since they needed wreckage several episodes before the intact ship, the wrecked version was based on an earlier unfinished concept which went through another round of alterations before being shown in one piece.

Yes, various debris consists of Connie saucers. At Hima, at Spaceport Devaloka (Sahil’s place). There some labelled just NCC, some have both NCC and USS.
 
Could it be from the underside of the saucer?

From a discussion in the Picard ship thread "it's a variant or sub-class" with a different bridge or sensor module (depending if it's top or bottom) ;)

The criss-cross pattern certainly looks like that Connie class.
 
I'd prefer they lent their names to the shuttlecraft complement of whatever Enterprise is in service from the 24th Century onward.
Actually would be kinda cool to have a shuttle for every Enterprise captain, dead or alive. By the time of Captain Shon's E-F, there could be: Archer, April, Pike, Kirk, Spock, Harriman, Sulu*, Garrett, Picard, Worf, Data.

*Captain Demora Sulu in the Star Trek: The Lost Era novels.
 
It's not difficult to say Starfleet flat out refuses to name ships after Starfleet personnel. Ships named Archer or Pike or Chekov are neither here nor there, these names being common as dirt (and the first two not necessarily being names at all). A ship named Nog is basically our first hint at the opposite possibly being true! And she's one-off so far, all the other ships that are named after people with nontrivial names clearly being folks who aren't Starfleet (unless by some coincidence there indeed was an Admiral Annan or a Lieutenant Curie who did good in Starfleet).

Perhaps Starfleet just thinks it a bad idea to elevate soldiers to immortality that way? Or then there's a whole Officer Class where every single ship is thematically named after a past hero, only these are warships that never take part in Star Trek adventures?

Shuttlecraft depreciate badly as soon as they leave the hanger deck. Not the kindest way to honor great captains. A starship with all its resources, now that makes a big statement.
