Kongo. So, then, according to ORIGINAL canon - U.S.S. Constitution was NOT built. Enterprise C was AMBASSADOR Class. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9!

(Or was it? We don't know anything about B beyond the incident at its launch, nor do we know how old C was when it was lost. [edit] Or how much time passed between B and C with no Enterprise. Could have been quite a bit; after all, 19 years passed between C and D.

TL When I was in grade school, if it was a hot afternoon and we were good, the teacher would have one of us go down to the A/V room and roll a tv down to the classroom so we could watch the Electric Company. It aired on a weak PBS station, and I remember the picture was mostly snowy. The mind is a weird and mysterious place ID: 1904143 ·
