NCC-2541 is canonical
- Thread starter throwback
- Start date
It would fit in the somewhat wonky registry system used in TNG.
To my knowledge, the large Excelsior model only had the following applied to it...
The model that Jein made had a few registry numbers applied over it's career, though I only have photos of it as the USS Excelsior (NCC-2000), USS Fredrickson (NCC-4211) and USS Excelsior (NCC-2000 put back with missized decals).
NX-2000, USS Excelsior
NCC-2541, USS Hood
NCC-2000, USS Excelsior
NCC-1701-B, USS Enterprise
NCC-42768, USS Lakota
The Hood's registry first appeared in a graphic in TNG and later in the Encyclopedia.NCC-2541, USS Hood
NCC-2000, USS Excelsior
NCC-1701-B, USS Enterprise
NCC-42768, USS Lakota

There was also the Excelsior class Melbourne in DS9's "Emissary," which would either have been the original studio model or a model kit.
Memory Alpha has an article on the Excelsior-class model.

Summary of Uses
The large model was used for the:
* USS Excelsior, NX-2000, 3rd & 4th movies
* USS Hood, NCC-2541, TNG Series
* USS Excelsior, NCC-2000, 6th movie
* USS Melbourne, NCC-62043, "Emissary"
A smaller model, known as the Jein model, was used for the:
* USS Excelsior, NCC-2000, "Flashback"
* USS Fredrickson, NCC-42111, "A Time to Stand"
The USS Hood was given a new registry in "Brothers" where it was listed with other Starfleet starships. (This information could change with the release of the Season 2 Blue Ray Set. There is a list of starships in "The Measure of a Man". I am hoping that some part of it is readable.)

Well, as Shaw already stated, the model was also used for the Enterprise-B and the Lakota.
No. You should have asked: "What number, if any, you can see here."
To me it could just as easily be 2391, for example. Without prior knowledge, there is no way to read it clearly.
In any case, why does this matter?

It matters because the toy stuffed eagle is gonna claw his eyeballs out while he is sleeping if he doesn't get the registry number right. He just wants you to know what's at stake here.
Nope, one ship onscreen with the name Hood and the occasional behind the scenes mess up on the actual registry that people argue about.
Yeah, I was going to say. Not a problem if one of them met with its demise or was decommissioned.
Also this seems like a stupidly trivial thing to be arguing about.
The problem with that theory is that if there were two different ships, that would mean that the second ship would have been commissioned after 2363. It's doubtful that Excelsiors were still in production, and even more doubtful that a brand new ship would have a registry as low as 42296. It would most likely start with a 7.
Arguing about trivial things is what Star Trek nerds like us do all the time.
With these many inconsistencies, and with Starfleet personnel constantly tampering with the timeline, I have come up with my own hypothesis - these inconsistencies are the result of the timeline changing.
For instance, in 2364, there was a starship Atlantis with the registry of NCC-72007. Then, between "The Neutral Zone" and "The Measure of a Man", the timeline changed, and now there is a starship Atlantis with a lower registry. The people are no more the wiser for they change with the timeline, but, we the viewer, are aware of the changes for we exist outside their world and are looking in.

A few people did, then a novel threw in a comment to say it was an injoke between Kirk and Mitchell, all was well.
NCC's however, aren't really worth that effort.
