Spoilers The NCC-82893 Thread

LOL apparently even the name of episode 1 is - "The Star Gazer"

Also Picard's original Stargazer commemorated...

As mentioned in another thread, 2326 seems far too late a date for the Stargazer to have been commissioned based on its registry number. It should have been constructed around the turn of the 24th century.

Well, the Excelsior was commissioned in 2285. That's 300 registry numbers above the Enterprise, which was commissioned in 2245. So, if we assume 300 / 40 years, then NCC-2600 would be commissioned sometime around 2325. So, it makes perfect sense.
Of course, this doesn't explain the 5-digit registries in the late 2300s, but hey, who really cares.

Agreed. In the Star Trek: Rihannsu novel Honor Blade, Stargazer entered service in 2276.
Building the ship in 2326 makes it younger than Picard himself.

Indeed, the Constellation-class USS Hathaway *NCC-2593* was already a 80-year old ship by 2365 (TNG "Peak Performance").

That would imply that Starfleet uses every single number chronologically for each ship they produce, and there's no evidence that's the case.

Plus, the dreadnought Entente NCC-2120 was in operation in TMP in the 2270's, at least a decade before the NCC-2000.

Also, as has already been mentioned, the Hathaway was commissioned in 2285.

Clearly someone didn't do their homework when making that Stargazer display.

Doug Drexler posted his thoughts on the whole bridge window debate on Facebook. Which is basically how I've always felt.
The Bridge Window Debate

Many fans, including myself. reacted badly to the advent of a "window" on the starship bridge. We tend to be nostalgic about it being a "viewer". For me, it's because Gene Roddenberry always made a point of saying that it is NOT a window. I believe that Gene made a point of this because there was a day (1964) where the idea of a giant view screen was pure science fiction, and that's the one and only reason.

Lately I've had a chance to re-think the Bridge "window" and have come around on it. What is the problem with a window? It may just be our ape-brain getting in the way again. We may be hog-tied by the assumption that "windows" are fragile. That it is a weak area that can be broken, or smashed. But is that the case on a starship three hundred years in the future? Certainly not. I would venture to say that it is a variable-opacity transparent Duranium. It is a window in function only, in that we can see thru it, and see things with our own eyes. If windows on a starship are dangerous, then why do we have them everywhere? It's because they are no more dangerous than any other part of a starships hull. Why do we want to see things with the naked eye? It's because we are human. This brings to mind something from astronaut Dave Scott, "I believe there is something be said for exploring beautiful places first hand. It's good for the spirit." Doesn't that sound like Star Trek?

I have to say that I strongly agree with his statements. So many treat the window as trite and I'm like "Why?" And the idea that I want to see it for myself, that I want to experience for myself, using my eyes, (cue Darth Vader scene) that makes it so valuable.

Well said, Doug.
 
I know exactly what my problem with viewscreen windows is: it's weird when they're on every ship during the Discovery era, then they're on no ships for the next hundred years, then they're back again! The Stargazer having a Discovery-style bridge window makes me roll my eyes a little, but I have zero issue with the Protostar bridge being all window, as it looks different to the Discovery-era windows and the ship's a prototype that's trying something new.

Though regular bridge windows have arguably always been a thing, depending on how literally you take the start of The Cage. The Enterprise-D definitely has a window in the ceiling.

Since we can't read it all, what are the chances that those years are actually the time that Picard served on the ship (not just as Captain).

The word before the dates it seem to say 'Service', but yeah. We'll have to wait and see if we can read the whole top bar in the final episode, or any BTS pics.

I'm not sure why the display would make that distinction. It's about the ship, not about the people who served on her.
