The ship coming out of the water looked like a shuttlecraft.
The Star Trek Into Darkness teaser trailer is here!

I assume you remember all about the fins and the moving parts on these nacelles when they are active?
Why not?
I'm not saying it's not the Enterprise. She's, perhaps, just been a bit modified.
Let's not forget that the design of the Enterprise could be modified.. either between the films, or in the film for a specific purpose (like a water mission). Both types of scenarios have happened in batman films for the Batsuit. In the original films, the suit changed between the films. In the new films, Bruce needed a different suit for functionality reasons. Maybe Starfleet modified the Enterprise to fly in gaseous/ liquid environments after the Nero incident (or because of it) or Kirk was preparing for the mission...
I do, and I can see that the fins aren't extended/open in the water-shot.
I still think they look different.
They at least had to repair all the gravitational damage from the black hole ripping her up and the damage on the port nacelle from the Mayflowers saucer impacting it.
oh no, not this fake Trek again... Hugh Everett III was a quack! Amanda Lives!!!!
But I suppose I will watch anyway. Just because of fear of missing out.

No, the water at the back end of the nacelle is mostly gone, and there is no downward swoop on the fin. Look at the yellow line on my second picture
Fair enough. There might have been modifications or the water could be distorting what we see.
Either way, one thing I can't accept is that it's not the big E.
They're not different. It's exactly the same.
BTW, you can clearly see the hull lettering NCC-17__ on the nacelle.
Here's a thought. It's not rising perfectly on the level and the nacelles are pointed up a bit. Your reading too much into an obscured image.
What if it's Old Spock and new Spock
Old Spock: "Ship, out of danger?"
New Spock: "Yes"
Old Spock: "You must mind meld with Jim, then, you'll know what to do."
New Spock and Old Spock simultaneously: "Live long and prosper."
Old Spock: :"ugh."
McCoy: "He's dead Jim."
Thank you. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who saw the same thing. Probably one of the "shuttle-on-'roids" from the first movie.
Q2
Could be their version of the Runabout.
Well exactly, the fins would collect water between them, the nacelle is not perfectly straight etc
They wouldn't waste this shot on anything but the big E herself, nothing else.
Indeed I did... 6 different versions until I got it to about 80% right.
I took that into account. Foreshortening still doesn't account for a complete lack of downward swoop on the engine fin. Plus the glowy thing at the back of the nacelle is higher than the run off at the front. If this were the original engines, sure, foreshortening *might* account for such elevations....but given how huge the front is now, I don't think it could. Also, the wall of water is pretty solid until a certain point, and then you can see the water moving behind the nacelle.
See below
I think Mad Man 1701 built a 3D model....Maybe we can get some renders from this angle.
From the official synopsis:
"has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis."
Again, based on this, and the limited info in the trailer, we don't know how many starships are dropped from orbit. Given the epic scale of movie Trek now, it could be many more than two and would also be an epic blow to Starfleet as well as making each falling ship a weapon of mass destruction if it hit a populated area.
The engines are the same... after looking at them and building them over and over, it's pretty obvious.
Like Vektor said, it's just the perspective that makes them look different. If you look closely, you can see the rim of the saucer starting to come through the water, too...-Ricky
