What ship's haven't we seen blown to bits?

Over all of the series, most of ships that we have come familiar with (both Starfleet and Alien) do tend, at some point, to have been destroyed.

From Starfleet:
Connie - Countless TOS episodes (though Doomsday Machine comes immediately to mind);
Connie-Refit - ST:TSFS;
Oberth - ST:TSFS;
Miranda - ST:TWOK, Countless episodes of DS9 in the War arc, not to mention a few in TNG;
Defiant - We lose that in DS9;
Galaxy - TNG, ST:Gen, DS9, heh take your pick;
Constellation - Somebody will have to help me out here but i'm pretty sure the Ent-D had to destroy at least one of these during TNG (Unnatural selection rings a bell :confused:)
Intrepid - VOY gave us Year of Hell and Deadlock as examples of an Intrepid going boom;

Other Alien races don't come off too much better either!
Klingon - We've seen countless BoP destroyed along with D7's and Vor'cha class throughout most of the series;
Romulan - TOS destroyed a BoP, DS9 blew up many D'deriex (p?) warbirds, ST:NEM went through a few of the more advanced warbirds as well as the Scimitar;
Borg - Between TNG, ST:FC and VOY we've seen many a cube go boom;
Cardassian - Throughout DS9 we saw them get smashed up pretty regularly, culminating in the war arc;
Jem'Hadar - Both attack bugs and Battlecruisers we've seen get taken out...

The list goes on and on. Now this isn't meant to be a "which ship is better in a battle?" type of query, But i'm struggling to think of any of the ships that we have seen regularly in the ST universe that HAVEN'T at some point or another been seen on-screen going Ka-BLAM! <insert other word of destruction as appropriate>.

The only ones I can think of are
Ferengi Maurader
Nebula Class
NX Class (though i must admit to not watching much ENT so i don't know)

Any others/thoughts?

The transport ship in "Unnatural Selection" was a Miranda variant.

The NX class from "Enterprise" was blown up in an alternate time line (can't remember the episode, I'm not a fan of the series either)

Was a Nebula class blown up by the Borg in "First Contact" or any of the episodes featuring the battle of Wolf 359?

The latter. There's the wreck of a Nebula prototype seen in The Best of Both Worlds.

Trivia time, what ship do we not see being blown to bits that gets blown to bits on screen?

The Constellation in The Doomsday Machine - we don't see the ship explode, just the gas (or whatever it is) exit the maw of the DM.

Actually, I'm not sure we ever see a non-refit Constitution class canonically explode on-screen.
 
no, cuz the ones 'destroyed' in 'The Ultimate Computer' are merely seen adrift at odd angles.

Nebulas are blown up in some latter DS9 DW episodes IIRC

No Constellations are blown up. The Stargazer and the Hathaway survive their battles intact, whilst IIRC, the Victory never even appeared.

Ambassador? did we ever see one of them get it? The E-C went back off-screen to be destroyed...

Not onscreen - the Yamaguchi was destroyed at Wolf 359 but offscreen.

Steamrunner, Akira and Sabre have all been destroyed onscreen. Not sure about the Norway?

The Centaur and Curry types haven't been destroyed during their limited DS9 appearances. Unless they're part of the classes listed as destroyed offscreen.

The bizarre Intrepid/Maquis Vessel called USS Yeager never blew up. Presumbaly through divine intervention. Doesn't have a class name though.
 
The Saratoga in TVH. It just lost all power.

And I believe the Excelsior survived all the movies as well.

Um, yeah, I forgot that one. I was thinking of Bele's cloaked scout ship. But then that didn't really blow up either, just disintegrated.

Closest we got was the U.S.S. Excalibur in "The Ultimate Computer", but then that was just a big glow in the middle of the secondary hull.

Use 754823 for duct tape: holds kitbashed Federation ships together against all odds.
