Welcome to the Ship Museum

The Engineering Department Ships Museum is a collection of previously approved ship specs and older versions. Early 2001 Engineering Director Bret Godfrey and Dockmaster Larry Garfield started the Ships Graveyard (a.k.a. "The Mothballed Fleet"), a collection of ship designs which didn't meet the new design standards. As it serves as a historical archive for people to look through, Dockmaster Ton Geurts decided to turned it into a museum.

All ship specs that are retired, deapproved, or superceeded by a later revision of the spec are placed here for reference. Designers may request that their deprecated designs not be included if they wish, but they must do so by posting publicly in the EngDept. The Engineering Director will honor designers' wishes. Bear in mind that these ships are not currently maintained or supported, and are not available for commissioning new ships. Any ship that currently uses one of these specs should get an upgrade to an approved class as soon as possible, and the use of these classes as NPC ships is discouraged.

If a designer wishes to revive a design currently at exhibition, he must repropose the revision as a new spec, and it will be subject to complete review.

Hov qIj-class Mark I

  • Designed By: Jason Becker
  • Approved On: 7 June 1998
  • Approved By: Acting Engineering Director Randy McCullick
  • Retired: 15 May 2001
  • Reason: Not SSSF Compliant
  • Notes: The Hov qIj was a Klingon battlecruiser, designed for use on STF's short-lived Klingon ship, the IKS chunDab in Fleet Four. As was not uncommon at the time, the ship was comissioned prior to the specs being approved. The chunDab was finally declared a failure in October of 1998 and decommissioned. The crew was transfered to the new USS Brandywine, a Trafalgar-class ship in the new Fleet Six. The hov qIj was not used again.

McCoy-class Mark I

  • Designed By: Deanne Morgan, Larry Garfield
  • Approved On: 1 May 1999
  • Approved By: Engineering Director Colin Wyers
  • Retired: 19 March 2001
  • Reason: Mark II Approved
  • Notes: Early in 1999, Kristina Humphreys first proposed the idea of a medical ship for STF. After some debate, Deanne Morgan volunteered to GM the proposed concept ship and began work on a ship spec. In late March of 1999, Morgan resigned as a result of the Spurlin-Morgan Crisis (See WeBBsights Issue #23 for more details), and handed the unfinished product over to Larry Garfield. Garfield rewrote the spec, keeping close to Morgan's original design, and it was finally approved on 1 May 1999. Without Morgan, however, the push for a Medical ship died down. It wasn't until Morgan returned to STF in August of 1999, now married and with the name Deanne Ashton, that President Spurlin commissioned the McCoy-class USS Ogawa in Fleet One under Ashton's command. When the Engineering Department directed that all ships be upgraded to SSSF-compliance in late 2000 and early 2001, Garfield again took charge of the project and upgraded the ship to Mark II.

Nimitz-class Mark I

  • Designed By: Randy McCullick
  • Approved On: Unknown
  • Approved By: Unknown
  • Retired: 29 April 2001
  • Reason: Designer Retired from STF
  • Notes: The Nimitz-class Dreadnaught was one of STF's oldest designs. It was the cornerstone of the career of Randy E. McCullick. During one of his earlier absentee periods the project was revamped by Mike Ballway, but when McCullick returned he objected to Ballway's meddling. The original Nimitz was restored, and Ballway's slimmed-down version became the Trafalgar-class Tactical Destroyer. McCullick swore for years that he would update the design to make it more feasible, more reasonable, more complete, and longer by an order of magnitude (literally). Repeated AWOLs and LOAs, however, eventually forced McCullick to declare his outstanding projects terminated, and the Nimitz was finally put to rest.
