Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

Guys, it's clearly a Dh'seva'nh warship. The Klingon word for "gets its arse kicked by Earth probes".
Which site was that?Back around the turn of the Century I was playing around with an "in-universe" Trek website (which might still exist in some Geocities graveyard) and digitally kitbashed some "prefit" versions of a few 23rd Century ships
"Sister ship" for the Constellation
And a Connie that falls midway between an NX and the Cage version.
Except, at least from the captions, L'Rell called them D-7's more than once. Unless "K'Tinga" translates literally to "D-7"....
D-7 .... K'Tinga. It's the same ship!
Well...... of course! Those captions were produced using a standard Starfleet Universal Translator, for our benefit.....Except, at least from the captions, L'Rell called them D-7's more than once. Unless "K'Tinga" translates literally to "D-7"....
D-7 .... K'Tinga. It's the same ship!
Yeah..... that'll work.
Might be the way the Universal translator dealt with it.Except, at least from the captions, L'Rell called them D-7's more than once. Unless "K'Tinga" translates literally to "D-7"....
D-7 .... K'Tinga. It's the same ship!
They are both essentially the same type of ship, one just has a greater capacity to do damage.
Maybe the translator when the D-7's came to help out vs CONTROL. But when L'Rell was introducing them in the cavern or whatever, it was only the on-screen captions.
I've always been content to go with the SF designation was D-7, the Klingon name was K'Tinga. NATO had it's own names for Soviet aircraft on top of whatever the Soviets called them, so not a new concept.
Since Enterprise established the D5 somewhat the D4 .. So the D7 is a ship class.
So to StarFleet, the K'tinga could be labeled the D7A.
I don't recall what I called it. Something like StarfleetHistoricalDatabase.com. It's probably dead.
I'm even ok if that distinction was always there, even though they looked different from TOS to TMP - after all Enterprise is remains a Constitution class even though it's waaay more different looking.

It also makes practical sense to combine them as they have a near identical silhouette, something something identical ships of different scales potentially confuses the audience if they are ever in the same shot (see the BoP).
Also I got curious and took the difference between Ktinga and ole'D7 as per the wiki's, and applied it to ole'Connie and... ~350/~228=~1.535x~288=~442
So ok fine it's worth making the Connie THAT much bigger.
And you can hear them say D-7 in Klingon. “Day Soch”
One thing that's been overlooked this week is just how damn good The Enterprise looked. It really seems like they've finally toned down the filter and let her actual hull colours shine through. Plus, we get a really great close up exterior shot of the bridge window.
It's a little off, but not enough to bother me. Just a minor production error. Hell, if you look at those beauty shots of the Enterprise long enough, you'll see lots of little errors.
In some shots, the secondary hull and lower saucer windows are entirely dark. They also forgot to turn on the spotlights that light the registry on the Nacelles.
Plus, I'm not sure we've seen the chiller grills have such a white glow to them.
Still, compared to say..... the Enterprise-D firing phasers from torpedoe tubes, this is all pretty minor.

The centerline camera angle on the last pic is slightly above the lower window edge whereas the 2nd one is slightly below, I think it's just an optical illusion.
We are looking straight on in the first two pics and then slightly downward in the last.
(like the camera is going to continue rising up over the dome)
