TOS ship classificationDave's TOS ship classification chart

Hi, folks!

Those who know their TOS and know it well must also know that the Enterprise was labelled as "Starship class" on her original dedication plaque, although everybody knows that she's a proud member of the Constitution class.

Lovely design.
I think this might be my favourite of all, there's something a little bit more brutish and 'human' about this era of ships.

That's what my whole First Fleet concept is about: the Human side of Trek.
