Ships of the Line

[Shim]

Memory Alpha has the names of some of the ships destroyed by Nero - the USS Farragut, USS Truman, USS Walcott, USS Antares, and USS Hood. I know how it got the name of the Farragut - but can anyone tell me where they got the other four from?

AND - did anyone see a recognisable class of ship? I thought that one of the ships that warped off just before Sulu stalled the E looked a little like an Oberth class - but it was a pretty quick scene.

USS FARRAGUT...Earth navel history
USS TRUMAN...Probably named for US President Harry S. Truman?
USS WALCOTT...Named for Ted P. Wallcott late 21st century inventor of the automatic banana pealer?
USS ANTARES...The star?
USS HOOD...Sunk British warship?

Thankyou Big C... but...

Just so that no one here thinks I'm a few beers short of a sixpack... I was referring to where they heard those names in the movie! When I said "I know how it got the name of the Farragut", I meant I heard the reference to it in the movie.

Especially for an Aussie, I am well acquainted with both US Presidents and British naval history.

But again, thanks.

USS Enterprise- Heavily Modified Constitution Class
USS Hood- was a Connie in the OT
USS Farragut- I don't think they ever said, but I always thought it was a Connie and most non-canon sources agreed that the Prime Farragut was one.
USS Truman- Never heard of before and doesn't show up on Memory Beta as having been a non-canon ship, so I guess Kurtzman/Orci made it up.
USS Walcott- an All-new ship
USS Antares: The Antares only showed up in the Remastered TOS, I believe, it looked like this for comparison:

USS Centaurus: New name and I'd guess a new ship

LOOK!!!! ONLY THREE REGISTRY NUMBERS. NO ZEROES!!!!

Interesting, too, that the number ought to belong to a Saladin-class ship, such as seen diagrammed here.

See also the first ship on this page.
