<throws old Excelsior models in trash>
No, no. Just kidding, but I do like these new takes on the design. Sleeker and beefier at the same time.

Gotta make room for that future Eaglemoss version that's gonna go next to all the other Excelsior variants.
I imagine the Eaglemoss guys were doing cartwheels when they found out 30something new Fed ships were coming in season 2.
Same.People be like,
NUTREK SHIPS SO UGLY
And then like,
Excelsior II so pretty
And here's me, thinking Excelsior II is utterly hideous and completely bewildered at the reaction
I'm quite the same here too. Ships, while pretty, are not the driving force for me to watch Star Trek, never mind the intensity of the affection for them. I lack that.
I have 2 EM ships. An original 1701 and an 1701-J and they were gifts.I missed getting into the EMC early because I was stubborn and shaking my fist at clouds about "no new fangled pre-built model club will ever replace building kits by hand!" and "They are too tiny for that kind of money! (still kinda true)
Now I regret it but it is too late, I could never afford to catch up now. Just bury me with all my hand builts and this old farts afterlife will be okay.

I did the thing for like a couple months but it was too expensive and I was ending up with ships I didn't even want. No way to go all the way with that collection when there's just SO MANY whatever ships. Now, I only pick them up on Amazon once in a while when I want to fill in a blank or treat myself. Just got the Constellation Class Stargazer the night Picard premiered when I saw the, well, Stargazer.
It really depends, because it can be a third party seller going through Amazon.
I have seen a Klingon Cleave ship at my local resell shop too.
There we go

Ok
So the new 'Excelsior II' class USS Excelsior has registry NCC-42037. I'll display even more of my ignorance on how registry numbers work in suggesting that seems a bit low for a new ship in 2401. Possibly a refit of a ship class from the pre-TNG Era, or do registries have a teired system depending on ship type? Maybe the main capital ship types get the bigger numbers.

Unless Burnham whispered it in an emotional/inspirational speech.Come on, this isn't a DSC episode. There wouldn't be that much dialogue.
Memory Alpha says that one of the ships in "The Star Gazer" is the USS Rustazh. A nod to The Final Reflection, maybe. If so, I wonder how Starfleet wound up naming a ship after a Klingon Great House... 
She'd do that even at the drive-thru at Burger King.

What good is being a great house if people are not naming things after you?If so, I wonder how Starfleet wound up naming a ship after a Klingon Great House...
There was a U.S.S. Gorkon as early as 2369.
Another article bringing in STO ships

They had some 4 nacelle designs, but they didn't use them to keep the Stargazer unique

True, but at least there was a reason to name a ship after Gorkon.
Even if the USS Rustazh has something to do with Krenn (from TFR), I don't see how that could be. What reason would the Federation have to name a ship after Krenn?
For those of us not in the know care to summarize why wouldn't have a connection with Krenn??
