Extended[]
I think it should be mentioned the San Francisco Yards must have been extended. Its quite hard to believe a yard which was built with the Constitution and maybe Excelsior hull measurements in mind has the capability of building Sovereigns, which are about 400m longer and 130m broader than a Constitution. - <unsigned>
- Methinks that you are confusing a drydock with the shipyard proper. We have no idea how big the shipyards are at all. There's nothing mentioned about them, merely that the ships were built there. -- Sulfur 02:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
OOC and drydock[]
How do we know the orbital office complex and drydock were part of the SFFY? They could be the Marin County Starfleet Yards for all we know. - Archduk3 02:34, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
- Presumably because the dedication plaques say so... --Pseudohuman 06:21, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
USS enterprise 1701 construction site[]
We know that the enterprise 1701 was constructed at the San Francisco shipyards in earth orbit. Why, in the 2009 Star Trek movie was the ship built on earth? Did JJ Abrams forget this fact or is it part of the alternate timeline? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.174.152.79.
- Obviously, for whatever reason, the changes in the alternate reality caused the ship to be built in Iowa. 31dot (talk) 11:58, November 12, 2016 (UTC)
Enterprise launch site?[]
What's the evidence for stating the San Francisco Fleet Yards was where the USS Enterprise was launched from? It's identified as the construction site in DIS: "Brother", but the launch site seems to have not been established, as far as I can tell. For evidence of the statement that the SFFY was the launch site, this page cites only the ship's dedication plaque, but that source references just San Francisco, not the SFFY, and there's no evidence that it's not referring to the construction site rather than the launch site. If it did make it clear that the SFFY served as the launch site, we likely wouldn't have a valid RW source (The Making of Star Trek) telling us the ship was assembled in space. --Defiant (talk) 08:57, January 21, 2019 (UTC)
