Ships of the Line 2017

[The Wormhole]

Hadn't noticed this being discussed yet, but I noticed Amazon has the 2017 Ships of the Line calendar up along with images. It's all TOS related imagery this year and is as follows:
January: Shuttle on hangar deck
February: Botany Bay lifting off from Earth
March: Enterprise, Botany Bay and a shuttle orbiting Ceti Alpha V
April: Starfleet Command landing pad
May: Enterprise and IKS Groth at Station K-7
June: Enterprise and Nomad
Centrefold: Pretty much every ship from Star Trek, an expanded version of the cover image. BTW, does anyone know what the Constitution-resembling ship that appears to be behind the Enterprise E is?
July: Enterprise and Fesarius.
August: Enterprise and Klingon D-7s.
September: Enterprise in the Tholian Web
October: Enterprise fighting a Romulan BoP
November: Enterprise fighting the fleet of Constitutions from The Ultimate Computer
December: Enterprise as seen from Captain Christopher's cockpit.
I usually prefer it when these calendars represent all Star Trek, but these are some very cool images all the same that meet the high standard met by previous Ships of the Line calendars.

There's some talk about that in this thread, and Starscape provides an answer to that question in this post.

^ Doesn't look like the Enterprise-A made it onto that cover, as far as I can tell -- and not only is the movie-refit representative the original NCC-1701, but then they apparently went and stuck yet another TOS-era Connie in the background behind them. And a whole bunch of non-canon ships made the cut, too, no less, on top of that (Ptolemy-class, Dreadnought-class, etc.). Why is the 1701-A always the diseased leper of the fleet?

Not bitching, I guess, but it is a tiny bit disappointing (even as much as I love seeing those non-canon designs).

But the A is essentially the same as the 1701-refit... and it's the second-most prominent ship on the cover.

It looks like the pilot version!

Albeit with a more boring paint job.

Well, physically to be sure (except maybe for the paint-job thing ), but physical appearances aside, it's a different vessel with a different service history, and with some pretty significant accomplishments to its name. It'd be kinda like wanting to show the NX-02 Columbia in a calendar-image, but getting told, "Nah, just use the NX-01 instead -- it's basically the same ship."
