Why couldn't there be Starfleet officers in Africa? There are Starfleet officers serving in North America and Europe, so why not other continents? There could be research facilities, recruitment centers, etc. on any continent of Earth.

There could be, but I'd also expect that if they had a home elsewhere on Earth, they'd be commuting from there instead of moving wholesale (and leaving the kids behind). Whereas I can more easily justify a private concern not being able to afford the transporter time for such.

Although the components are roughly the same (minus the Kelvin's engineering hull/shuttlebay on top), the proportions on the Kelvin are vastly different, and it's much larger.
As for class and funtion, the official STXI website says the Kelvin is "primarily used as a survey vessel"

Near the Federation-Klingon border that could mean snooping.
I thought he was meant to be Kirks Uncle.
^Does that matter? The point is that, whoever the hell he was, he said Winona was off-planet, not in Africa.
It's coming from me misremembering the line you quoted. Sorry.
The novels aren't canon either, but you cared enough to start this thread.
Oh, okay.
