The New USS Discovery....

[Captain of the USS Averof]

^^ USS Vengeance. Has a ring to it.

BTW Shenzhou literally means "Divine Craft" or "Divine Vessel of God". I definitely expect to see a Deity of some sort in DSC.

 

[tenmei]

USS Warship McWarship-Face.

 

[Tuskin38]

Discovery could be freshly refit, thus 1031>1227

Or registry numbers don't work in sequential order

 

[starsuperion]

Not happy with the Discovery ship designs. So in 5 years time, starship science by the TOS era gets radically different. Doesn't fit.

they are likeily gonna ditch the ToS look, as they should. Also the Enterprise is 10 years old in 2255

Someone better go tell HMS Dreadnought it shouldn't exist. Sudden, radical design changes that obsolete previous shipbuilding practices simply can't happen.

 

[tenmei]

Or the RV Triton and the USS Independance - some of the first trimaran vessels in western military after centuries of single hull designs.

 

[Zombie Cheerleader]

The name "Discovery," quite literally, implies that the primary mission is exploration.

Yeah, I don't think ship naming works that way.

That phrase is missing "IMHO".

Yep it was named after the space shuttle Discovery. Which was OV-103.

Nah, its not the 1960s, it should not look old, dated or luke a fan film or it auto fails. Making it look like the TOS is doing just that. This is a fact, like it or not.


Look at the ENT mirror episodes. They look goofy and campy as the Constitution looks old, dated and a child of the 60s. Next to the NX it looked like somones old moldel T, they brought out to put next to a modern one. And we are not gonna even cover its dated 60 tech and uniforms.

 

[Boo-khat!]

All we canonically know is that the Enterprise was operating under Pike in 2255. We don't know how old the Enterprise was at that time.

OV-103? NCC-1031? Discovery? Hmmm, now where could they have gotten the inspiration for the NCC number from? Boggles the mind.

Also, I recently read that the submarine USS Dallas was named that because the intended mission was for it's crew to constantly watch old episodes of a nighttime drama about oil barons.

The Enterprise is 20 years old by TOS season 1.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The Enterprise is 20 years old by TOS season 1.

Don't you mean, by Star Trek III?

 

[Galaxy]

The name has to fit the ship. I maintain that one would not name a pure warship Discovery, Curiosity, Heisenberg, etc, in the same way that one would not name a science ship Revenge, Vanguard, Nimitz or Terror. That simply makes no sense what so ever. Naming them after things like towns, or states works for both. Then there is the unfortunate trend of naming practically anything after politicians.

I never liked that Admiral anyways. Behind the scenes it was of course a mistake, but I wonder if the timing would work compared to the refit? 20 years might be stretching it.

Nah. Ships are named for people, places, events and actions.

Fourteen years at most.

Thought it was canon she was built in the 2240s and launched with April as the captain in 2245?
