The Intrepid is a great name for a ship name.Always thought that the name Intrepid is just as good as the Enterprise name. Plus this ship is pretty cool looking and looks like a scrapper in a fight and Great explorer also. she may have or should have some phasers banks like the old starfleet ships or phaser pluse cannon's along with the other phasers they have.

Funnily enough the British Navy also historically had more HMS Intrepids than the American Navy USS Intrepid

When I saw the new Intrepid I immediately thought of the rather distinctive Akyazi-Akula class which is a TMP-era design that was the first time I'd seen this kind of design.

I always enjoy it when Star Trek uses the names of actual famous warships & sailing ships, especially the WWII carriers. Maybe if Legacy happens we’ll see the Intrepid back, and since the Enterprise-G isn’t the biggest or strongest maybe they could call the new Federation Flagship the Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga, Essex, Ticonderoga, Hood, Excalibur, etc…something else that has historic gravitas. As far as this Intrepid’s class I could see using names like Hornet, Wasp and Ranger for a few of its sister ships.

I named my first Klingon Battlecruiser in STO the "I.K.S. Targsauce." If you know, you know.

Something really cool is that the Intrepid, just like how the titan is a redesign of the Shangri-la, is a 25th centuryified version of his USS Wasp design from the TMP era

It is a damn shame they didn't include any legacy ships in Picard. The Excelsior and Miranda class ships were around for nearly a century. I find it difficult to believe that all of the TNG era ships would have been scrapped after just 20 or so years.

It's cool that there's so many new ship classes compared to the "Oh look, yet another Oberth/Miranda/Exclesior" TNG/DS9 era but there's *so* many of them they all must have a very short lifespan.

Worf didn't have to go through Prune juice, the Prune juice went through him literally, I mean old people drink it to keep regular 😂. This Intrepid seems more like an advanced scout, hence the sensors a bit Oberth like but less flying coffin.

It's a good looking design I like the forward slung deflector and engineering section.

Fantastic design. She hangs in the air, much like the Refit Enterprise.

As a note, the suffix ( bloody A BC etc) is typically applied to ships that recieve both the name and registry number of a previous ship, the Enterprise A got an A because otherwise keeping its records straight would be problematic. We see other ships carry established names but typically without the historical numbers. This allows for easy distinction between the ships. It also seems like some ships get legacy numbers even without the associated name, the Constellations registry number is 1017, making it incongruous with the 17xx scheme that seems to define the class. Apparently 17 is meant to be the 17th cruiser design and the following digits roughly represent the production order. So it seems likely that the Constellations number is in honor of an older ship, plausibly of a Crossfield class ship that predates the Discovery and Glenn (1031 and 1030 respectively) though as the fleet grows larger over time the whole numbering convention breaks down, even more than it was already lol.

It should be noted that this pattern (reused name, different number) seen on the Intrepid (also Defiant, Hood, Excalibur, etc.) is the way it tends to work in the real world. For example, the real USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which was decommissioned in 2017, is scheduled to be replaced by a new USS Enterprise (CVN-80). She herself was named for the previous USS Enterprise (CV-6).

You've got to think that a lot of the TNG & Borg buster era ships might not so much have been cast aside when that new ship smell faded, but rather they, like Voyager herself, had gotten so chewed up and repaired in that hasty manner that only wartime demands. ( à la the USS Yorktown CV-5 ) With such being the case, it was seen, on a ship-by-ship basis, that a good many were just too warn out to be viable anymore. It was most likely that a good variety of these ships were going through the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to discern their viability when the Romulan Super Nova crisis became the Breaking News story on FNN. With the need so dire for ships Starfleet was raiding all its boneyards whilst at the same time building specialty designs to move as many people as it could handle. If a ship couldn't fit the need to repeatedly lug as many refugees as it was designed to evacuate without requiring an overhaul or refit, then it was likely scrapped to either feed the industrial replicators or provide parts for ships in a better state of condition. It was likely that during the Attack on Mars by the Zhat Vash, everything that couldn't escape was destroyed outright. So, given this rollercoaster ride of happenings, it's none too likely that we'll see too many of those grand ole TNG+ era ships in any great abundance going forward...but when we do, smile and savor.

"Decommissioned every 5 years." Starfleet had a few generations of complacency, then a couple of generations of intense hostile activity.

I really love your Trek analysis. Lots of fun Sir:)

13:10 Ironic that the Hikaru Sulu was one of the ships that fired at the Excelsior. Since the Excelsior was destroyed, does that mean Elnor is dead?

I hate to disagree with the wiki, or memory alpha. But it is painfully obvious that the 24th century Intrepid class was not a long range exploration vessel. Its crew too small, the quaters weren't built for extended cruises away from port, evident by how Kim's neighbor would bang on the bulkheads when he practiced his clarinet because the bulkheads werent built to dampen sound that effectively because the ship wasnt designed to be lived on indefinitely. Its clear that while the Intrepid made do and did serve well in scientific roles when needed. It was never a science first vessel. Star Fleet had a rule that all ships needed science labs because you never know when your going to be the only ship in the sector to get detailed scans of a temporary anomaly or alien vessel or whatever. But the Intrepid was incredibly well armed for a ship so small, very heavily automated, being that it was about 1/5 the size of a galaxy but used 1/10th the crew. It had an unusually large compliment of shuttles for a ship its size, and its warp core was excessively large for a ship its size, easily giving the ship more power than it would ever need. It had no kitchen from the launch, with Voyagers being built by Neelix to conserve on replicator energy. It only carried at maximum 3 years of deuterium. A supply that could be wasted much faster if the crew wasnt careful. And the lack of backup systems. They had no hydroponics before the delta quadrant, only a single doctor and 1 nurse for a crew of 141 and not a single crewman with medical training as backup save only for an EMH who proved more than worth his emitter's wait in latinum. Its obvious. The Intrepid was built as a multipure tactical ship that could be mass produced and be fast. Its necelles are purpose built to deal with the warp 5 speed limit starfleet put in after TNG discovered conventional warp travel of the time damaged subspace. The ships ability to land on a planet and either dislodge large amounts of cargo or personnel directly or even remove and repair entire coils in the field means it was modular and meant for rapid service and deployment. This was Starfleets best attempt at a general purpose ship for the 24th century, an answer to the Klingon bird of prey, a ship that is well armed for almost any tactical scenario. has limited science labs that can serve most needs, and can easily transport resources and personnel quickly across the federation. But its lack of back ups, lack of comforts, and lack of long term storage shows it would never have been intended for deep space. Also, no astrometrics. No star fleet ship can claim to be an exploration ship if it doesnt have even an astrometrics lab.

Rare that season 3 episode 5 of Picard was the only time you see a Duderstadt-class ship. That design looks good except for the positioning of the photon torpedo launchers tucked in the center.

I mentioned this on another video regarding this ship but as much as I absolutely _adore_ the Intrepid, which believe me I do, I can't help but think that it would've hit even harder than it already does if the Interpid had been replaced with the Enterprise-F in the series.. Sure the Odyssey Class is much larger than the Neo-Conny, but seeing *_The Enterprise_* of all ships compromised by the Changelings would've been a massive gutpunch and also made the stakes even more apparent.

My dreadnaught is called the U.S.S. Rogal Dorn

There's nothing unusual about a time honored ship name being reused for a new ship after the previous ship has been destroyed or decommissioned. Real navies do it all the time as a way to honor the legacy of the name. The British Royal Navy has had 15 ships named Enterprise since the 1700s, and the US Navy has had 8, including three aircraft carriers, the latest being the Gerald R. Ford class Enterprise currently under construction right now.

There's one ship class I haven't seen y'all do, and that's the Nova Class. It's my favorite of the First Contact/ Voyager era designs. It's a science vessel based on an escort design.

I have a feeling that Lieutenant Commander Adam dislikes the word Intrepid ;)

To be fair, Intrepid is also a name that has a lot of history on Earth as well, most notably with the 'Dry I' that still rests in New York.

I simply haven't heard the word 'Intrepid' enough times in this video. :P

That Intrepid class is a badass design..

I think the name Intrepid keeps being reused for several reasons. First, it's a good name for an exploratory vessel; I'd expect nothing less for the Intrepid-class USS Voyager to venture to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Such a mission certainly wouldn't fit for the USS Sitsathomeport. Second, Star Trek from its inception has loved WWII ship names - the American carriers in particular. All three of the Yorktown-class carriers have lent their names to Starfleet vessels (Yorktown, Enterprise, and Hornet) as have the Lexington-class (Lexington and Saratoga) and the Essex-class Intrepid, Princeton, Shangri-La, Valley Forge, Kearsarge, and Franklin (I'm sure I've missed a few). Additionally, the carrier Intrepid has been preserved as a popular museum ship in New York City, lending a readily visited (for American audiences anyway) real world connection. It is somewhat weird from an in-universe perspective that the various Intrepids don't share registry numbers like the numerous Enterprises and Voyagers. It's of course explained from a meta viewpoint: none of the Intrepids has been a "hero" ship.

True! I saw all this previous designs on the site Devianart years ago.

All Federation ship registrations start with NCC. All aircraft registered in the United States start with N. I'm sure this isn't a coincidence.

One more Intrepid for the road: The real life USS Intrepid is now part of the Intrepid Museum in New York, which also hosts the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Maybe this connection has contributed to the recurrence of the name in Star Trek, or maybe it just really sounds like it should be the name of a starship.

This ship reminds me of the pioneer class from star trek online TOS era

What a dorky looking ship. It's like someone was building a model that only had a saucer and nacelles and then they decided to stick a prostate massager on the underside.

7:30 They weren’t even on when that happened. I can imagine this Ship being a Spin-off Class of the Springfield-Class, they have similar hull configurations and if Added to STO, they should include the Springfield aswell.

So, we only ever see two, or hear of more than four intrepid class starships, so it's possible there just weren't that many of them commissioned, in which case, the fact we don't see any in STP is merely the fact that they were used to the point of breaking. We know voyager was decomm'd pretty quickly after her return, given what she went through, and that was decades before STP, so it's safe to assume they're successors have completely replaced them now. Plus, whilst we see hundreds of ships at earth, we don't see thousands, and an organisation the size of the UFP and its Starfleet would require many times more ships to function, so I'm guessing what we really saw was the primary battlefleet(s), whilst the support fleet(s) of less battle-ready status were trying to fill the gaps for the expected duration of festivities. I really like this new "Dude" class and can't wait for them to hit STO, she's a real pretty dude for an angry starship. Of course, they'll have to mod the design a little for turrets and omni's (seriously, why do no ships have centreline weapons anymore in Trek?), but I have faith the team will be conscientious in doing so: they're pretty good at ships these days. I went had a look at Larry Miller's designs and had a right giggle when I read she's supposed to be an FDC, like, she has less IV than a Connie; where are you putting the fighters? (the Hornet is tiny compared to the Dude)

Great review! One correction - the TOS predecessor is Toronado, not tornado.

"The Angry Starship" I will, probably, be the first to say this much for the USS Intrepid, but I found it about as angry as a sleeping kitten. Seriously. The only thing that made it seem angry was the background music they choose to play as the ship recovered and powered back up. Had the USS Titan chose to power up and fired first? They'd have been playing a funeral dirge instead. We could have had a more intimidating vessel, like an Excelsior 2 class or even a Sagan, show up, but what we got was something that looked Starfleet was trying to reinvent a Hoover Vacuum Cleaner instead.

It's amazing now, with the right music, angles and staging, a normally inoffensive and inanimate object can appear terrifying 😨

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but in the case of this Star Trek : Picard ship design there's an strange similarity to a dual G/C spot stimulator toy.

First rule of writing. Never have characters with the same name, or with names similar enough that they can be easily confused.

Sort of like ideally you want both warp engines online, but if one of them is out, you can at least limp home, or to the nearest station on the remaining engine, albeit at a slower warp speed. Otherwise it paints a pretty stupid picture of StarFleet procedures and protocol, as well as their training programs. They could have at least included some dialogue saying something like, "They can still make warp, even on one engine, but it will take them longer to catch us."
