No, you're not. I've avoided saying the class of ship is different from the type of ship. For example, the USS Nimitz, is the first ship in the Nimitz class, and the type of ship was an Aircraft Carrier (CVN). If they were to name and type ships consistent to the way it has been done in the past up to present time, then If the Athena is the first in its class, then it would be an Athena class ship, it would probably be a ship type as some kind of Starfleet Academy Training Auxiliary vessel. Most sci-fi writers don't go that deep into ship class (naming) versus type Nerdology.
Also, nothing requires Starfleet Command to adhere to ship naming and type a thousand years from now.

31st century shouldn't even have starships.

I mean, we can make a guess it isn't a new ship on the grounds it seems to have NCC markers NX so it's far enough along it isn't a prototype anymore, so maybe an older spaceframe repurposed and overhauled?
I once brought up the first ship = name of class vis a vis the Vesta Class, and was told I was making a vast assumption.
It's probably an Academy class ship.
And still does given his ability to transport Burnham into the White Room from any point in the galaxy.
The assumption holds for both TOS and TNG. The TOS Enterprise was a Constitution class, named for the USS Constitution, the first in the class of a heavy cruiser. The TNG Enterprise was a Galaxy class, named for the USS Galaxy, the first in the class that was destroyed in a fight with the Dominion. That takes us up to the 24th century, where the first ship of a design, becomes the name for the ship class for all the future ships with the same design. That doesn't keep Starfleet from changing their ship / class naming methods by the time they get to the 3rd millennia.
Sorry, but what on earth are you talking about here? The USS Galaxy was not destroyed fighting the Dominion, the USS Odyssey was. The Galaxy took heavy damage at the Battle of Chin'Toka which was depicted on screen. However it was not destroyed, and was present at the Battle of Cardassia and in Star Trek: Nemesis, is listed among the ships in Battle Group Omega waiting to intercept the Scimitar
Sorry, I got them confused. Thanks.
It's ok. I think my original message was a bit harsh and I didn't mean it to be. So I'm sorry if it came across that way.
No problem, it was early in the morning for me, and I hadn't gone to bed yet. I don't argue over ship classification and type minutia, because I know a lot of writers for the show aren't versed in and don't follow naval tradition. I'm pretty sure there was a USS Constitution, and it may not have even been the first Constitution Class ship, which goes against current and past naval tradition, to me that is not a hill to die on.
Trying to avoid what Garak said:
I'm more interested in what the story tells and the ships and crew are doing, rather than the naming of ships, which is left up to the writers.

I didn't know Cardassians even had mimes. Figures Garak would be one.
miming is just another form of lying if you think about it.
Especially the mimes.
It says I need to register at imgbb to view these.
