Graph units the nacelles were called in TAS
For what it'swrth, the "Drell-4" is actually listed under "MODEL", it states "Battle Cruiser" for "TYPE" and "Star Cruiser" for "CLASS".
The equivalents for Enterprise on the TMP blueprints are MK-IX-A / Heavy Cruiser / Starship II for MODEL/TYPE/CLASS, which I find a little interesting since I'm pretty sure the "MK-IX" and "Heavy Cruiser" both originated with the FJ Tech manual, yet Kimble went with Starship II Class instead of Constitution.
Nothing new this week.
Placing inhabited planets into household-name star system is a common Sci-Fi writers trope. I hope this one doesn't prove to be polarizing.
For the hero ship in the holo adventure, did it have a registry number and class name?
U.S.S. Adventure
20-1
I didn't see any plaque or display on the bridge set where you'd expect to see a class name.
20-1... I wonder if that's some kind of in-joke hidden meaning or it's just random numbers.
Either way they should have padded one of the numbers with a leading zero just to piss off the Prime Universe gatekeeper nerds out there.

Being a holodeck simulation, does it reflect at all to PU ships?
What is the closest class to TOS ships?

It could be an allusion to Jefferies' idea that the Enterprise was hull 01 of the 17th starship design.
@XCV330 your name-sake makes a cameo.The XCV-100!
I noticed how all the Communicators got jammed once they were in range of the Alien of the Week vessel.
This is why you have backup hardline communications on board a vessel, but that's something that seems to have been installed later on in future StarShips.
A basic hard lesson that IRL Navies have learned before.
That's a very hard lesson to learn in terms of design, to not be completely dependent on the new fancy shiny tech, but to work with "Old faithful".
Depending on WiFi for everything isn't always a good idea.
