A breakdown of the Constitution class. Were there really only 12? Were there different versions? Did they have staggered launches?
Today I learned that the 12 thing comes straight from "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"... CHRISTOPHER: Must have taken quite a lot to build a ship like this. KIRK: There are only twelve like it in the fleet. CHRISTOPHER: I see. Many of us over the years have taken this to mean only 12 (I don't particularly like the idea of 13: 12+Enterprise). Seen on-screen as definitely Constitution-class: Enterprise, Constellation, Lexington, Excalibur, Hood, Potemkin, Defiant We can assume: Constitution Only seen on the repair chart in "Court Martial": Exeter, Kongo Appears as Constitution-class in the remastered version: Intrepid Only seen in reference material or the novels as Constitution-class: Essex, Farragut, Hornet, Republic, Valiant, Eagle, Yorktown So that's 11 TOS-era ships and 7 possibles. And some of the possibles could be pre-TOS era ships or a different class entirely.
