I wonder what the in universe explanation could be for New Jersey not being refitted into the movie Constitution since we see the Enterprise A in this same episode. Maybe, one of the last Constitution class ships produced and Starfleet decided to decommission and place in the museum to showcase the design? Maybe it’s more noteworthy as an example than for anything the ship did.

There was a picture taken of an extra in what looked like Klingon makeup, It’s just a forehead prosthetic no nose no teeth. Bit since he was an extra, it’s possible that’s why his makeup was just the forehead
Maybe just the last surviving one? When it was time for refits, they kept one back as a legacy piece? Like you say, nothing special about it beyond it being the last of its kind.
They used the TOS Connie design in PIC season 2 as well, but it’s very hard to see. The Constellation from TOS is one of the ship displays at Starfleet academy in episode 1.
Also it’s shown up in Prodigy and Lower Decks.
So yeah. It just seems to be up to each individual show as to what design they use.

I have liked to think or awhile the TOS connies went through a very specific design phase. Starfleet may have toyed with some external coating, different design philosophy. It didn't pan out, and that particular iteration were outliers.
as an example look at the "Regular" version of NASA's X-15 spaceplane vs the times it had full ablative coating for some of its faster runs.
I agree it is a mess. There was no good reason why they had to make STD completely different in evertlything from ship design to costumes. It does not fit at all into the prime continuity no matter how hard we try and fit it. It's like fitting a square peg into a round hole. SNW does a better job but even that could have been tweaked a bit more but since they mentioned STD right in the first ep it us what it is. I suspect they will at some point make both those series a alternate universes especially if they decide to remake TOS. But again it would have been so easy to make STD look and feel closer to TOS.
It mirrors the huge amount of space between his ears.
I think of how the Space Shuttle Enterprise never went to space, but is still preserved in a museum as well. Maybe it was built way after the fact, as a museum in and of itself? That would explain the high registry.
I stopped there. Call it DSC, as it's actually called, rather than going for the cheap shot. Then I might actually be interested in engaging with you.
I'm wondering how a hundred year old cloak is fooling anybody.
I don't need them to "fix" the SNW Enterprise. Seeing a TOS Connie in the museum was just plain nice. True, the SNW ENT could have had straight pylons, a smaller impulse deck and no big row of lights on the saucer, thus making it more similar to the TOS ENT. Still a beauty.So about the USS New Jersey we saw in this week's episode:
This is obviously the TOS version of the Connie (as opposed to the Disco/SNW version). Because of this, does this mean that the Connie we see in SNW will eventually be refitted to look like this?
Easy there, this isn't TNZ...
That's tame..... I didn't even swear
DSC makes no sense. STD stands for Star Trek Discovery. It's not my fault the producers picked that title.
No one thinks you're clever.
Yeah, if SNW just ends, then the ship gets refit into something very close to TOS. But if they make a show after that runs concurrently with TOS, then it gets complicated, since a finale cameo is very different animal from the ship we see every week.
Not surprised, its notoriously difficult to replicate the chaotic swirl from random broken mirror bits, Christmas lights and spinning vanes. Some of our fan art posters here have pretty much cracked it, but they have as much time to throw at the problem as they want. The show doesn't have the luxury of unlimited time for a 3 second shot.
As the first of her class she could conveniently still retain the NX-01 if they wanted, but regardless the Dauntless from Voyager tells us what the first ship in the Federation Starfleet was named.
So do you call TNG - STTNG? DS9 - STDS9? VOY - STVOY? ETC?
Maybe like the Luna class titan, it had a hard life, and not worth refiting, but could be rebuilt as a museum.
One of the concepts for Kelvin (Back when it was still called the Iowa) was more TOS inspiredHeh, for its part the 2021 comic issue Year Five #24 showed the prime George Kirk on the U.S.S. Kelvin in pseudo-TOS design style.
I would love to see the Einstein-class (so named by Federation: The First 150 Years) integrated into DIS/SNW live-action.
I think you might be reading way too much into an Easter Egg.
One of the reasons it's the best. It looks good no matter what.One of the concepts for Kelvin (Back when it was still called the Iowa) was more TOS inspired
