I am just happy that there are no Class C shuttles at Fed HQ. There seem to be two new types of shuttles.
Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
most likely named after Riccardo Giacconi. He did a lot of early work in X-Ray astronomy, and helped design the Chandra Observatory, essentially the X-ray equivalent of the Hubble space telescope.
Still Homosapiens naming club mostly.. Maybe Soval? V'Lar? Shran? Worf? or any other of the 350 member world naming conventions??
900 years and humans still calling the shot, I bet The Burn was set up by the other 349 world systems to isolate themselves from Earthers
There appears to be one new design at the salvage yard, that Miranda looking one, doesn’t match any designs from previous DSC seasons.
Saucer is too round to be a Nimitz, nacelles too small to be a Malachowski. The struts are too straight to be a Shepard. Nacelles are at the wrong angle and distance to be a Cardenas.
Might be a kitbash.
That ship described as a new constitution has the same registry as the USS Reliant

But they already had production assets. They had those wrecked ‘new’ Constitution class ships from the first few episodes, plus whatever other ship wreckage Burnham and Book were flying through in episode 1. Why they chose to instead create wrecked versions of three 23rd century DSC ships doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
They said in the episode that the ships were centuries old.
Considering people are bitching about ships from the burn era still being in service 120 years later, i think there would have been quibbles about state of the art in service ship classes also being on the scrap heap, given its implied that these scrapyards have been around for centuries.
As the idiot nephew stated, they are as old as dirt.
It wasn't the same ship that has a pic in the mess hall?
Nope, different nacelle position. But it does look like a Hoover class, as cool as it would've been to be a Miranda class.
I'm also intrigued by this wreck. Here are some screenshots from the episode.
And how old are the ships that Starfleet is currently using? The scene of all of them exploding suggests that they are at least 140 years old or more.
And indeed this would give ten generations of Voyagers, while ships that break down after mere fifty years of use would not.
The tapering-stern ship in the pics is the Hoover. The new one... Is intriguing. But old. They sure made those things to last: drop one on a building from a height of a couple of ship lengths and what you get is a vertical starship jutting out of said building. A submarine today, gently settling to the bottom cushioned by viscous and buoyant water, would break in half like, say, the Kursk did, at much lesser heights/depths, and despite being just about the strongest type of vessel imaginable.
The one thing we'd never really notice without screencaps is that there only ever was one model of that mystery ship, with one pattern for damage. But several patterns to the Hiawathas, thankfully enough.

Thank you, great catch! I edited the post accordingly.
Most likely, though some years had passed between the production of Into Darkness and the show set up for DSCO, and they may have shipped some stuff up from LA just once (why was Toronto chosen for DSCO and Picard remaining around Trek's old stomping ground, LA?).
Not the Star Trek composer?
That’s Michael Giacchino.
There’s a Hoover on the left. The one on the right is new.
