Spoilers The Starfleet Museum

[Mark_Nguyen]

"NOTE the caption". It's a typo.

Point being that the Saratoga at the museum is actually the Saratoga from Star Trek IV, made up to look on the outside like the one lost at Wolf 359. On the inside she looks like parts of both. There are examples of this sort of thing in military museums, for example on the USS Midway there's an F-4 Phantom painted up as the one that shot down the first enemy plane in Vietnam on one side, and the plane that shot down the last one on the other side.

He meant 'note'. Read the text on the image.

The Saratoga at the museum is the one from ST4, modified to represent the Saratoga from DS9.

Ah okay that makes more sense

 

[Racefuel]

Ah, yes, now its finally settled

The New Jersey is a Constitution class and uses the TOS size of 286 meters. The E-A is established at 300 meters..and ..

the Refit is now *officially* Constitution II class.

That's not going to set off any debates at all...

As official as a twitter post can be!

No not at all

No screaming sir, no not at all.

Considering it's coming from the production team, yeah...it's about as close as you can get.

They do identify two Akira class ships. There was some debate about that.

Also 4 sets of doors on the spacedock.

Yeah, it seems the original intent was for a single Akira and the Pioneer but Anne Wersching's passing changed things a bit and they wanted to honor her..its fitting and I'm cool with it.

The HMS Bounty is WAY too big in that graphic, though.

It has to be the fit those whales.

I do not like the NX-01 refit. Seems unnecessary.

I didn't like it at first, back when it was in the calendar, but the design has grown on me. It fixes a problem with the base NX design, noted by one of the VFX artist in Star Trek: The Magazine, that the ship is so thin it tends to disappear from the front or side view.

I've got the Eaglemoss model of the refit on my desk at work and really does look good from a variety of angles; there's always something interesting to look at.

The Lexington, NCC-30405 has a pretty good history in Star Trek canon, having appeared in DS9 and First Contact.

Why the hell does a Nebula class starship have such a low registry?

 

[Spike730]

They could've kept the Pioneer and renamed one of the other vessels. Just saying.

Must have slipped through quality control. Just like Seven's panel.

 

[Tuskin38]

Why the hell does a Nebula class starship have such a low registry?

That's what it had in TNG (on a barely readable computer screen).

The last 3 digits of the USS Wersching's registry number is Annie's birth month and day. March 28th.

Ah, ok, that explains it. The registry is from TNG The Measure of a Man while the ship was only established as Nebula class a couple of years later in DS9. Bad call by MA to connect these facts as far as I'm concerned.

Flipping the Enterprise-D sideways to get it through a small door. Now I’ve heard everything.

It was originally assumed it was a later production Excelsior class since the Excelsior model is what TNG used for nearly every non-enterprise ship unless it was the Miranda model lol

The HMS Bounty is WAY too big in that graphic, though.

Scale seems to be a bit off for a couple of ships. The NX-01 seems bigger than the Enterprise-A, the New Jersey, and the Saratoga. Those Akiras are also huge, bigger than the Nebula class on display.
