[edit] Star Trek film appearance
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but as the handful of ships are leaving Earth to go to Vulcan in the latest Star Trek film, I seem to recall a four-nacelle ship with them. If this is so, is this a precursor to the Constellation class, or is it actually a Constellation class vessel? If someone can verify this, an image should be uploaded. --Kahwless 08:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- You are probably looking at the ship that had two nacelles, and then two engineering sections (a first in Trek Starfleet desings, I think). I thought it was a four nacelle ship at first as well. Besides, the movie takes place largely about 30 years before we think the Constellation class got started, and in an alternate timeline where technological development and starfleet design had been diverging to a high degree for about 25 years. Not likely to be a Constellation present. --OuroborosCobra talk 08:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Great, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware that the extra nacelles were engineering sections until I read the page on the Kelvin which said that it only had one warp nacelle. Again, thanks. --Kahwless 14:14, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- This perhaps? --Alan 18:51, November 19, 2009 (UTC) -->
- Yeah, that is the ship with two nacelles, and two engineering sections. --OuroborosCobra talk 19:07, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Not sure how to reference USS Hathaway mention
I added a sentence to the Studio model section about how the USS Valkyrie model on display at the Star Trek The Exhibition may have been the one used as the USS Hathaway. I saw it it very close up at the Tech Museum in San Jose and although it was faded and some attempt was made to erase it, it clearly said "USS Hathaway" under the "USS Valkyrie" label. You aren't allowed to take photos at the exhibit, som I'm not sure how to prove or reference my assertion. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 7:44 AM PST 18 Nov 2009
I actually found someone who must have clandestinely take a very good photo of the model, so you can sort of see the faded writing behind "USS Valkyrie": http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtrigger05/2625245455/sizes/o/
