Facts About the USS Kelvin

[KirkusOveractus]

The Kelvin is so badass it is the only ship in Starfleet to hold at least the human form of Robau.

'Nuff Said.

 

[Hartzilla2007]

The Kelvin is so badass not even the firepower of the Narada can destroy it.

 

[Omega_Glory]

The Kelvin is cool because her crew actually act like adults....the crew the Enterprise wishes she had.

 

[MvRojo]

The Kelvin's sister ship is named the U.S.S. Hobbes.

Lame...but hilarious!

The USS Kelvin had 800 crew members while TOS Enterprise had 400. That means Kelvin can take on two Enterprises.

I think when Pike used the number 800 he may have been referring to the number of surviving crew members and the children who were born to them in the intervening 20 something years. Hence, George Sr. did save 800 lives, sort of.

Even at that, there was a lot of hobble-do-ga-ga going on.

The Kelvin is so badass even Robau has to wear insulated skivvies in order to sit in the captain's chair.

 

[Major Chord]

The Kelvin is so badass that it's captain's chair is the only to ever touch Robau's ass and live.

The Kelvin was built at Mount Olympus Shipyards by Zeus himself.

 

[Hartzilla2007]

The Kelvin was built at Mount Olympus Shipyards by Zeus himself.

And the metal used to build it was forged from pure Robauanium.

I didn't care for the Kelvin that much. The shuttlebay on top just seemed out of place. I'd like to see a photoshopped version with the nacelle on top and shuttlebay on bottom.

I preferred to think the Kelvin was going to or from some sort of colony support or rescue mission, and 500-odd of those people were passengers or refugees or whatever.

Of course the biggest thing I don't like about the USS Kelvin is the fact that it existed before the Nero's time-travel escapade, and yet despite this it still was much larger than the Constitution-class (I don't know if it's size was specified, but it looked bigger, especially when you look at the shuttlebay and had a crew of eight hundred) which was a more advanced design (wasn't even built yet) which was supposed to have been the largest ship of the era at 289 meters.

Most advanced and largest are not necessarily synonymous. (Hello, Defiant-class!) Besides, there's an argument to be made that by getting by with half the crew in (what I'm assuming is) a similarly-sized hull, the Connies were more advanced.

The USS Kelvin is 273.15 better than the USS Celsius!

The USS Kelvin is 457.87 times better then the USS Fahrenheit!

The shuttlebay on top just seemed out of place.

The Kelvin finds your strictly determined concept of an up and down in space amusing.

 

[ST-One]

The Kelvin is so badass, she continues firing her weapons even though the chief engineer reports them as 'down'.

 

[Triskelion]

The Kelvin answers the question, "What does God need with a starship?"

 

[KirkusOveractus]

The Kelvin is so badass, even Robau has to come down in a turbolift to go to the upper hull!

Sounds OK, but its a lot of people to cram into the shuttles.

I think we're following our other "Facts of..." series, where it isn't so inclined to get into the Franz Joseph side of things, but to more illuminate the lighter aspects of the characters/ships we love so dearly from this movie.

The Kelvin is so badass, even Robau has to come down in a turbolift to go to the upper hull!

Was wondering how to incorporate that little off detail, nice way of putting it
