Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

Place a hull between the nacelles on the Miranda and you'll get a TMP era California.


That really doesn't work because the California class doesn't have a engineering section in the saucer, that presumably the Farragut has.

It would be more like the NX Refit at that point.

No, adding something between the struts of the Miranda does not make it look like the California. Miranda has an enlarged rear section, a roll bar, and blocky nacelles on very short nacelle pylons.

Farragut’s secondary hull is embedded into the central saucer and can be hard to make out on the dark hull. Otherwise, the Farragut and Cali have a wide, circular saucer with long nacelle pylons holding long, roundish nacelles underneath. Booth look goofy.
 
Could that ship not exist in the PU? Or maybe looks different?
The Farragut?

I believe the intent is that it's the same ship Kirk served on before the Enterprise. It even uses the same registry number that is given in some non-canon sources, like the Encyclopedia.

I doubt Pike saving those kids changed the design of the ship.
 
Perhaps the Farragut suffered extreme damage during its encounter with the dikironium cloud creature (TOS ep “Obsession”, DSC novel “Die Standing”). Its remains, like the saucer, were salvaged and quickly put into what we now know as the Farragut-class configuration.
 
Yes, and her horribly mangled pronunciation of it.
I just rewatched the scene. The officer assigning Uhura pronounces it ‘farra-good” good (like in good/bad). Uhura says “farra-gut” (gut like in stomach).

What is the ideal way to pronounce Farragut?
 
I always thought it was pronounced as Fair-a-get.

Least that's the way folks in Tennessee say it.

I believe that the British say Far-a-get.
 
Or Generations.
Ah! I just looked up the ending of Generations on YouTube. Captain Picard pronounces Farragut. It sounds like something in-between -good and -gut, unless I am mistaking the schwa. Not sure I can duplicate that pronunciation but it is the Englander Sir Patrick Stewart, so it's gotta be correct.
