Are we sure Defiant is older than Discovery?
DIscovery registry number is 1031, Defiant's 1764....
The specific ship, we don't know, but we know the Constitution class is already out there as Michael mentioned it to Tilly in an earlier episode. The Enterprise is 1701, after all, and we know that's out there and already on its second Captain.
While registration numbers broadly go up with time, they aren't rigidly sequential.

might have spared ncc 1025 to ncc 1075 for scientific test vessels (because the intented to build more of some type and then cut the numbers)

wiki on hull numbers:
The U.S. Navy sometimes ignores the sequence of hull numbering. For example, the Navy built the last Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine as SSN 773. Next the Navy built the three Seawolf class submarines SSN 21 through SSN 23. Then the Navy later resumed the original sequence of hull numbers with the USS Virginia SSN 774 for its next class of nuclear attack submarines.
i see no reason why starfleet should do it differently
more like col o'neill's pond
No one really knows how registries work. Anyhow Discovery got stuck with 1031 due to Bryan Fuller's whimsy.
Indeed.
well, I'd say there are much options... at least with almost every ship being NCC-xxxx
Just rewatched the episode. I love the bit where Lorca headbutts the door. He's a fucking badass.
Also noted the discussion between him and Burnham earlier, where he calls the mirror universe the best argument for destiny that he's ever seen. A very good observation from within Trek's multiverse, considering the same people are always doing the same things in the same places despite hugely different circumstances.
Also, why would the mirror people name a ship "Discovery"? USS Conquest or somesuch would be more fitting.

It's probably likely that what appears to be additional weaponry on the nacelle pylon(s) was added my the MU in the century or so since "In a Mirror, Darkly." The bend in the nacelle, however, is more likely a standard feature of the ship class in the Prime-Universe, or perhaps an upgrade from a past refit.
It's doubtful it's Hoshi, since it's unlikely she'd still be alive after 100+ years -- whether as a result of natural causes or by assassination. I'd prefer the current Emperor (or Empress) to be someone surprising, and certainly Georgiou would fit the bill. Having it be Stamets or Tyler would be a bit anticlimactic.
I think what they said was they'd decided not to show Mirror-Culber in that episode (i.e., prior to our Culber's death), which means we could potentially see MU-Hugh at some point ahead.
Does anyone think any mirror universe characters might crossover into the DIsco universe and stay? I could see Georgiou coming over so they can keep using the actress. I wonder if they might do a season 3 "Fringe" thing where one character gets trapped and the mirror universe double comes back and pretends to be a our character. I know some are expecting Lorca to be from the mirror universe but what if they twisted that and Lorca always was from the Disco universe and he gets killed and the Mirror Universe Lorca comes back in his place?

The Grissom, the Revere and maybe the Columbia come to mind as three digit ships.
And each universe is a participant in the fabric of the multiverse.
The Discovery is brand new and described as the most advanced ship in the fleet.
If Discovery the TV show and TOS/Enterprise the tv show are set primarily in their own different and distinct Mirror Universes, which are both still separate from THE Mirror Universe.... THE Mirror Universe first encountered by Kirk is a divergent time line from what we are seing now, where the adrift Defiant never boosted their tech savvy preternaturally.
Just because all of those Mirror Universes have a constitution class series of ships, it does not mean that those ships have identical powersets, design and capabilities, especially since the sfx on Discovery looks nothing like the SFX on TOS or Enterprise where they used modern cgi to look just like phasers drawn on to the film with a felt tip pen, like it could have been done in the 1960s

And though never seen onscreen except as a graphic on Colonel West's map for Operation Retrieve in Star Trek VI the Constitution-class U.S.S. Eagle had a registry of NCC-956.
I figured that USS Discovery was named after space shuttle. Maybe in the Mirror universe the space shuttle Discovery nuked some cities or crashed and killed heaps of people?
Which doesn't matter and has no effect on time since time is a universe contained effect.
