Talk:USS Nimitz (Sovereign class)

ship class, order of succession
The article on the Saber class starship of the same name gives as its sources the game SFC III, set in 2378, and the "The Brave and the Bold" novella "The Third Artifact", set in 2371. There, the class name was only established in the game, not the novella. This article gives as its sources the two Armada games, set in 2376 and 2377 respectively.

Since there is therefore no definite indication that the Saber class "Nimitz" was in service before the Sovereign class ship and then decomissioned and later recomissioned in 2378, one should assume that the Sovereign class ship came first. Also, since the USS Sovereign was launched in 2370 and since I don't recall any explicit mention of a ship building and comissioning order for the class it is entirely possible, even likely, that the Nimitz from 2371 was of the Sovereign class. Failing that, the relevant information should just be moved to USS Nimitz (24th century), along with USS Nimitz (2360s) where no class was given in the source either. - Bell&#39;Orso (talk) 09:28, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
