Spoilers The Starfleet Museum

I doubt Geordi was the only one who knew about the Galaxy class, nor the only one working on it - it isn't a top secret project. They likely had the Enterprise-D saucer for quite a while and Geordi saw an opportunity with the Syracuse when that was decommissioned or whatever happened to it.
I'm not sure anyone is going to run to Picard to tell him Geordi is gonna restore it or why they would - especially if they're working with Geordi and he tells them that it was gonna be a surprise for Picard (possibly at Frontier day?).

Just had a customer come in today to drop off his car for servicing saying that he and a friend have spent the last 10-15 years restoring a vintage car, mostly on weekends and days off and sometimes having to machine parts themselves.
I've lived in this apartment complex for close to ten years and every weekend my neighbor goes out to his garage and works on restoring one the first car's he has owned. He's finally got to the primer stage on some of the frame.
Y'know, I'm really surprised that not only did they build a new TOS-style model for the Constitution-I-class at the expense of the DIS-SNW model but they also declined to stick any Walker-class or Crossfield-class samples in the Fleet Museum to stand in for the Shenzhou and the Discovery.
In fact, the Shenzhou wreckage was last known to be floating around in the graveyard from the Battle at the Binary Stars, so depicting it as having been recovered and towed back to the core worlds would have been a convenient way for PIC season 3 to repay DIS season 3 for using Admiral Picard's log file of Ambassador Spock. And I say that when I don't even like DIS's visual style that much.

Unclear. Discovery and Glenn were framed as the sole testers of the experimental spore drive, but they never clarified that literally no others existed. I would assume there was at least a U.S.S. Crossfield, if only to see what the class could conventionally accomplish without spore drive.
On a similar note, I was very annoyed how Seven of Nine's dialogue in PIC 2.01 called the U.S.S. Stargazer (NCC-82893) 'the first of a new class' to use Artifact-derived technology while the dedication plaque in the background designated it Sagan-class. That is a needless butchering of Trek tradition when the whole point was to honour Picard's Stargazer. I really hope a future work fixes that error with an explanation that Seven was using the term '[ship] class' loosely and not according to the proper definition.
Keep in mind sometimes the namesake of a class isn’t built first. IRL the US navy’s Colorado class battleships were like that.
USS Maryland was the first of the class launched and commissioned, with Colorado coming second and West Virginia being third.
So Stargazer could truly have been the first Sagan class ship, despite Sagan herself coming after

I would accept that; I was more referring to how NX-class and Texas-class with no ships named 'NX' or 'Texas' are deviations which should not be repeated IMO.
Discovery and its class wouldn’t be commemorated because the former was classified.
Looking at non-canon, at STO specifically:
The Shenzhou was indeed recovered from the battle site, refitted and returned to service in 2409. The Walker class spawned the Georgiou class in the 2280s (see images).
There’s also been a USS Crossfield NCC-1030 and its mirror counterpart, ISS Crossfield. They have different looking nacelles. The 2390s-era Discovery class is based on the Intrepid class, no connection to the NCC-1031, but the 2410s-era Glenn class is a modernised version of the Crossfield class.
In the now defunct game ST: Adversaries, there was a Crossfield-class USS Andromeda NCC-1447. Presumably lacked a spore drive.

I meant for the real-world staff and audience. And I still believe there had to have been a U.S.S. Crossfield which accomplished non-classified actions.
That reminds me, I made an error. In 2384, Hologram Janeway shows the kids the great ships of the Federation, including a the NCC-1031.
In the official Starfleet history books, Discovery was an experimental ship that played a key role in the brief Klingon war, but was lost in action.
It's only the spore drive stuff and the Control/temporal shift stuff that was classified.
The only two Crossfields we know of are destroyed, and there's no reason to think Starfleet retains an example of every ship they ever built.

Because nobody watching PIC would have any nostalgia for any DSC season 1 ships, not even the Discoprise.
So if the Discovery was lost only a year after it was launched, and the spore drive was classified, one wonders why it was in any way noteworthy to be shown to the Prodigy kids along with the rest of the completely noteworthy ships. Unless PRO takes place in a different continuity than DSC does.
Uh, no such thing happened in STO lore. Not sure where that Memory-Beta editor got that idea.
Fixed the article.
Most people watching PIC wouldn't be nostalgic about the Pioneer Class either.

Well pioneer class was pretty much a blink and you'll miss it. Wasn't really highlighted.
They could have done the same with a Discovery design then
Probably it's participation in the Klingon War.
It was the only ship that participated in that war?
