...another nitpicking thread :D Based on the definitions (courtesy of Merriam-Webster's website):

REFIT
Pronunciation: rē-fit
Function: noun
Date: 1799
the action of refitting especially : a renovating of a ship

RETROFIT
Pronunciation: re-trō-fit
Function: transitive verb
Date: 1953
1 : to furnish (as a computer, airplane, or building) with new or modified parts or equipment not available or considered necessary at the time of manufacture 2 : to install (new or modified parts or equipment) in something previously manufactured or constructed 3 : to adapt to a new purpose or need

would it not be more accurate to describe the TMP Connie as a "retrofit" rather than a "refit"? Ultimately, I suppose, it's splitting hairs, but let's have a little fun.
