Besides the scout ships mentioned in ST:TMP, were there 2 dreadnought class ships mentioned, or just 1?
What were the ship's names & registries?

Ships mentioned in Star Trek TMP?
- Thread starter James Wright
- Start date
There was just one dreadnought, the USS Entente (NCC-2120).
Thanks for the help, what was the USS Entente doing at the time it was mentioned?
I have the movie on video tape but can't hear some of the dialouge.

All we hear from Entente is their call and Epsilon 9's acknowledgment. U.S.S.Merrimac (NCC-1715) is also mentioned as is a long-range shuttle (the name escapes me) but those are so far down in the mix they're barely audible.
There's also mention of the USS Columbia... man, that makes me sad...
It's the scoutships Columbia (NCC-621) and Revere, names and registry numbers were an Easter egg salute to the Franz Joseph "ST Starfleet Technical Manual".
During the Epsilon 9 close-up, 3 starships can be heard on subspace radio:
Scout "Columbia" NCC-621, Scout "Revere" NCC-595, and Dreadnought "Entente" NCC-2120 can be made out, with difficulty. The 2 scouts and dreadnought are listed in the Technical Manual in the Scout and Dreadnought Class listings (TO:01:04:15 and TO:0104:25). "The Columbia" is a "Cygnus" class scout, the "Revere" is an "Hermes" class scout, and the "Entente" is a "Federation" class dreadnought. The NCCs stated also match these ships in the Manual.
^I was working on a movie "ST Concordance" fanzine in the early 80s and spent quite some time playing, and replaying, that scene to catch all the details. Then one day, riffling the Tech Manual, I noticed the NCC numbers! I was staggered, but it was not really that hard to believe, since the Franz Joseph deck plans were shown on viewscreens in TMP, ST II and ST III.
