Much to my amazement, I discovered that Superman is not a mild mannered newspaper reporter, but, LO FROM THE PRESIDENT and BEHOLD, a famous Mineman. Paul Santa Maria Congratulations to MN1 Stephanie Cowart, our newest Ensign Select. We are all proud of you, Stephanie, and, without a doubt, you will continue to make us proud of you as you continue up the ranks! I would also like to congratulate and welcome my two new appointments as ex-officio members to the Board of Directors as approved by the Board of Directors: the Dashpot Editor, Bill Fortner and the AOM webmaster, Phil Dechene. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication. Speaking of hard work and dedication, I would also like to thank Director Bill Roberts for his outstand- ing analysis and recommendations on various areas of our by-laws, and also to those who contributed constructive thoughts and comments which led to the decision for leaving the by-laws unchanged. Let me assure all our members that we may meet only once a year, but important business is in continuum year round. Our thanks go out to “Swede” and Irma Carlson and Frank Butler for their generous contributions to our Scholarship Fund. Education costs continue to rise as we all know and that makes continued contribu- tions and successful auctions at the reunions. Thank SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED! you!! See you all in San Diego! GOD BLESS YOU AND Time is fleeting by and, before we realize it, re- GOD BLESS AMERICA.

  • The Starfleet Registry
    THE STARFLEET REGISTRY RESEARCHED AND COMPILED BY JOHN W. BULLERWELL Introduction What you hold is perhaps the most comprehensive listing of the NCC- and NX- Federation Starfleet registration numbers ever created. Unfortunately, as comprehensive as it is, it is also confusing, error filled and riddled with mysteries. These numbers are from the entirety of fandom and canon. If you’re looking for a work of completely canon numbers and nothing else, this is not the document for you. Because the majority of these numbers come from fandom, there are a lot of discrepancies, and a lot of replication. There are numerous considerations I needed to make in compiling the list. For instance, I worked under the assumption that a ship with a lettered suffix (for example NCC-1234-C) is carrying a registry ‘tradition’, like the Enterprise. Therefore, if fandom listed a NCC-XXX-A U.S.S. No Name, I assumed the was a NCC-XXX (no suffix) No Name as well. While this is indeed very unlikely, I included them for the sake of completeness, as the original originator likely intended. Also, spellings in this document are intentional. If a ships name was Merrimac, I did not change it to Merrimack, or vice-versa. Again, it is assumed that the originator of the ship’s name/number intended their spelling to be correct. Some vessels had the same names and numbers, but were listed under two different class names. An example of this would be the Orka-class and the Clarke-class. Both classes had the same ships and numbers.
