I always figured the Constellation was a "special purpose" ship (aka "sneaky beaky black ops") ship, given the proximity of its pennant number to that of Glenn and Discovery (1017 vs 1030 and 1031). Yes, I subscribe to the theory that pre TNG pennant numbers were assigned based on the expected role a specific ship it going to be in, with blocks of numbers given over to a role (1700-1900 being long duration explorers, 1000-1050 being "special purpose" etc).

Why is the intriped the only one that has the numbers in large letters along the engineering section. i like it, makes it stand out

Constellation's number was a result of the AMC Enterprise model coming out. The only hull numbers available was the famous 1701. 1710 although a more logical choice was ruled out because they feared the number wouldn't show up as different number. So 1017 was picked.

I'm actually using the USS Eagle for a fan fiction. So it'll be great to see if you mention any information I've missed. Would be nice if it appeared on screen as Star Trek Online shows a more modern constitution design which would suggest that it's been completely refitted as it still active.

At least the constellation &decker went down fighting.

13:10 to be honest, when you mentioned those ships in particular earning their place in starfleet history etc, I was expecting a reference to their contributions to the federation later earning the honour of a class of ship being named after them...?

Why neither ship fire into the Doomsday opening? Since a small shuttle craft had an impact and the impulse engines of the starship, certainly both ships together target the inside, especially such a large opening.

Would love to see the non-cannon concept of how the USS Intrepid had had 4 nacelles instead of just the standard 2. I remember it was in a book where Spock mentioned it having 4 nacelles, but I do not remember the title of the book. I just remember how cool I thought it was that the Vulcan crewed Intrepid had 4 nacelles, but since it was long before Memory Alpha and Memory Beta came into existence (even before the Star Trek Encyclopedias were ever written) I never have seen the idea put into drawings or CGI.

Have you read the recent Star Trek novel “Drastic Measures” it goes into the Tarsus IV incident in much further detail? Also do you count the USS Biddeford (Admiral Marcus’ ship before he had the USS Vengeance from Star Trek into Darkness) as a canon Constitution Class? I personally do because it theoretically would’ve been in use before the Constitution Class fleet was scrapped and rebuilt using tech from the Narada. Because it was implied in some of the tie in comics (although they’re technically beta canon) that there was an original Constitution fleet (with Robert April in command of a USS enterprise) before the USS Enterprise that was built and commissioned in the 2009 film. Sorry for the long question but I find the topic of the Kelvin and Prime timeline split quite interesting.

So, it is Jeffries and April that caused the delay in getting the new Constitutions out there to combat the new Klingon D7s and alleviate the Ares class workload (nevermind Garth of Izar) in the war? I like that story line as well as this one but the 1st having more juice vs a traditional 5 year mission. At the very least, Jeffries got starship access tubes named in his honor and April was the 1st captain of the Enterprise. Plus, the Klingons were beat.

Sorry to tell you, but Axanar and the Ares class ect are fan fiction! And therefore completely meaningless, with no place in Trek! The difference here is this is Beta Canon, still meaningless, but with a valid place in Trek!

The beta cannon reason for Constellations serial number, was because she was not the first Starfleet ship to bear the name Constellation. So at the time it was decided to give her the original Constellation's NCC number. This was later dropped and the Constellation Class prototype was given a new NCC number. This was not a popular decision in the fleet, so the policy was revised yet again and the English Alphabet letter designation was given there after to ships who bore the name of previous Starfleet ships. But only ships given their NCC classification would get the old registry number and new letter designation and only ships Starfleet command deemed worthy. This is theorized why Sisko's Defiant had a unique NX number and wasn't considered officially part of the Defiant line. But it may also have to do with the circumstances of Constitution class Defiants loss that denied her successors her NCC number.

If that is indeed true, would it be logical to assume that Starfleet would have taken steps to recover the ship.
