Spoilers The Starfleet Museum

What ships will we see in the Starfleet Museum?

I wonder how it's decided what ships deserve a place at the Starfleet museum. You would think the Enterprise E would be there given its involvement in first contact and saving Earth from the Borg, unless they don't have the rights to show it on screen and only have the rights to show and reference the Enterprise D.
 
It makes me happy now that's it's officially still in the canon.
Ok. It never stopped. So you can retroactively be happy :)

Unless TOS stopped being canon, which CBS never said and they are the only ones who can declare canon.

Second verse, same as the first. A little bit louder and a whole lot worse!

FedNet voting.
 
I wonder if that Romulan Bird-of-Prey is one of the TOS ships. It can't be the one from "Balance of Terror" for obvious reasons but maybe one of the ships in the squadron commanded by the female Romulan Commander in "The Enterprise Incident" was captured when they tried to get their commander back from Kirk?

I'd make it the Tomed, captured after the "Tomed Incident".

I don't think the E-E is around anymore to be in a museum.
 
Some people thought it was retconned out in favor of the SNW version.

Why would they think that? Did they George-Lucas TOS by remastering it with the Discoprise styling or something?

Addition is not subtraction. Change is not removal. reimaging in not retconning, whatever that's supposed to mean. That was even a rather important theme of this very episode, if you noticed that while scanning for visual minutiae.

If I retell a story my grandparents used to tell using my own words, am I "retconning" the story?

[Jack Crusher voice] The only retcon I respect is the retrofitting of the Constitution class, amirite, folks???
 
I wonder how long it would take to tour the museum let alone each individual ship. I mean a person could spend a lifetime there.

Probably at least a day just to do a quick outside look at the ships.

You'd probably be able to spend a week just on the E-A, Excelsior and Stargazer (if it is Stargazer, its the only logical ship a Constellation class could be)
 
I would think the museum ships are basically just mock ups at this stage. Nothing is really functional anymore. Look at USS Hornet or USS Missouri in real life, those are not functional ships anymore. All the sensitive materials have been removed. So I am a little surprised they could use the cloaking device from the Bounty…LOL, it is Hollywood after all…

It's just a toy now for the kids. No one ever thought anyone would steal it.

Well Starfleet isn't 21st century US military. Plus why have mockups floating in space when they could just use the Holodecks for that? So it makes sense they are still partially functioning.

Most US museum ships, with the exception for public areas where ADA requirements dictate having doors that are mobility device accessible, are still *technically* able to be returned to service. Midway, Hornet, Yorkdown, Lexington and such all still have their engines, boilers and such.

It can be done, expensive..yes..but it can be done.
 
I do find it kinda disappointing that we didn't get any new or unseen designs from the museum.

Would have been nice to see the Pioneer, hinted at in the credits, but even beyond that, there's a massive gap between the NX-01 and the New Jersey in terms of launch dates.

We could have seen ships from the Romulan War! Kelvin era ships. Hell, would have been the perfect chance to see a Daedalus in the flesh.

I'm sure we're going back to the museum, if the rumors are true, so maybe there's still a chance.
