Making of Star Trek and the FJ Tech Manual also called it a Connie.
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Farragut_(NCC-1647)#Background_information

"The following names have been established for starships: Enterprise, Exeter, Lexington, Yorktown, Potemkin, Republic, Hood, Constitution, Kongo, Constellation, Farragut, Valiant, and Intrepid. The latter four are listed as destroyed in various episodes." - The Making of Star Trek, p.165.

As the quote above shows, the Making of Star Trek doesn't say it's Constitution Class, so Memory Alpha is in error here. It says it's a starship, lower case "s". I don't have my copy handy to double check the capitalization, but assuming it is lower case, we need to make a distinction between "starships" and "Starship Class" ships. The Farragut and Valiant can be the former without being the latter.

That sort of confusion might be why the name was changed to "Constitution" in universe. My personal head canon being that Starship Class ships are named after famous historic starships, until people started getting confused and the class was renamed Constitution after the first built ship.

The Farragut, one of the few really good closeups of the ship.

Such a curious way to mount the nacelles...

I don't hate it, necessarily... It just looks like a tiny splinter in your finger should feel. You know there's something there. It probably should be removed, but there's not that horrendous panicky need to do something about it.

These warp nacelles don't have glowing chiller bars on the inside, making them more like the TOS nacelles.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Plus the static red bussards, much like early (pilot) TOS engines.

It does have an interesting fore/aft profile, too. Gives off kind of a muscle-flex look to it.

That's a starship that sees you looking at its girlfriend and wants you to know it saw you.

Do you even warp, bro?

I kinda dig it. I just wish they gave it a little more detail. Things such as name and registry marking seem to be missing.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, I've been looking for the "NCC-1647" under the saucer and can't find either of the numbers.

Seems to be missing any markings of any kind.

 

[cooleddie74]

Wow.

Section 31 ship.

This truly is a bizarre alternate future.

Section 31 ship.

There's that word again.
