...Did I miss something?
Just my own frustration. Was hoping, praying, that the Enterprise would avoid a ridiculous name drop in this season. You have a whole upcoming show featuring the Enterprise and a show all about a new century and yet must return to the name "Enterprise." It is aggravating....Did I miss something?
They were referring to PAST incidences that occurred in Trek history.
Enterprise-D & the Original Voyager
Not current ships.
It was a reference to a past Enterprise most likely the Enterprise-D. If there was an Enterprise in the 32nd century it would absolutely have been called out in 'Die trying' and everyone would have spent the next 12 months bitching about the small universe of it all.

That's actually a relief.
Well, officially it's an Excelsior variant, per the DS9 Tech Manual. Which is complete bullshit. It's no more an 'Excelsior variant' than the Reliant is a "Constitution variant.'
I took it as a reference to the original Enterprise from “WNMHGB” or the 1701-A in Final Frontier.
The problem with those examples is that the discussion at hand wasn't directly about the Galactic Barrier.
It was about the makeup of the interior of the anomaly and that it came from the other side of the Galactic Barrier.
The GB was just a throwaway line/Easter egg.

To be fair that thing at the back of the DS9 Technical Manual might well be an Excelsior variant, but it sure as hell isn't the Centaur we see on screen!
Interestingly, neither is the one that Eaglemoss did. 
In the Expanded Universe, the USS Centaur is a Centaur-class starship and remains in service until at least 2769.
I watched "Stormy Weather" today and from context, I cannot tell if Captain Saru refers to past or present ships when he talks about Enterprise and Voyager.

It's pretty obvious he is referencing past occurrences that we as the audience are aware of.
Thus the Enterprise-D & Original Voyager are the logical choices.
Why would the episode writers have him reference an incident that we have no knowledge of?
Just because...? I mean, why wouldn't they? It's a big galaxy. Things happen all the time that we do not keep up with because it's not the characters' focus at the time of the current ep.
(I'm not trying to be a contrarian, I really just don't know).
It's just like Budapest all over again.
Sounds like a bad case of small universe syndrome.
Star Trek is really about the extremes, isn't it? It's only ever an obvious reference (either self-reference or something going on IRL right now) or something invented out of the whole cloth for the sake of a one-off joke that no one will ever remember but über-giga-mega-superfans on the internet will get mad at CBS for not referencing (e.g. the Betreka Nebula incident that went on for eighteen years between the Klingons and the Cardassians and was never heard of again).
Well, of course, we are talking about the franchise that considers [made-up alien species name]+[thing considered mundane in an Anglo-American cultural context] word constructions to be the epitome of deep and rich world building.

They were talking about subspace tears in that scene, not the barriers. They hadn't event discovered the galactic barrier connection at that point. So it wasn't the original or the -A.
The only Enterprise we know of that has encountered subspace tears is the Enterprise-D. Though Saru could easily be talking about any Enterprise in the last 800 years, he doesn't specify a letter.
Saru's lines are:
"In reviewing Starfleet records of similar encounters, it appears we can anticipate some interference. Uh, Enterprise noted heated plasma. Voyager charted ionized particle eddies"
He's not very specific, it could be any Enterprise in the last 800 years.

Hi!
I make a cutaway from Discovery-A refit.
But I dont find image from that.
there may be a source for someone?
Or a high resolution image about the ship? Side and upper views.
