It was the fastest ship in [[Starfleet]] when it was launched in early [[2374]]. The vessel was also equipped with [[holographic projector]]s on every deck, allowing its [[EMH|EMH Mark II]] free range of movement throughout the ship; previous EMHs were restricted to sickbay and, if so desired, the holodecks. |

This transmission contained ''Voyager'''s [[The Doctor|Emergency Medical Hologram]], who initally escaped detection by claiming to be the EMH of the ''Prometheus'' itself, and also claiming that, as a hologram, he was neutral. Assisted by the ''Prometheus'' EMH, the Doctor was able to regain control of the ship by knocking the Romulans out with a gas (That, naturally, didn't affect them) and stop it from entering Romulan space. Despite their initial lack of understanding of the controls of the ''Prometheus'', the two EMHs subsequently managed to destroy an opposing Romulan ship before the ''Prometheus'' was recovered by Starfleet. Following this, the Doctor spoke directly to Starfleet headquarters about the fate of ''Voyager'', before returning to his ship to assure them that they were no longer alone.

| − | There was some confusion during the production of "Message in a Bottle" concerning the registry of the ''Prometheus''. According to [[Michael Okuda]], he had used the number NX-74913 on all the internal displays and the ship's dedication plaque. However, the [[Foundation Imaging]] FX artists did not get the memo and used the number 59650 instead. Although Okuda's number did appear on screen, the Foundation number was much more visible. |

| − | According to [[Star Trek: Communicator Issue 152]], the ''Prometheus'' was redesignated NX-74913 after [[Stardate]] 51461, right before the date the ''Prometheus'' was hijacked by Romulans. This was probably stated to alleviate the registry confusion mentioned above. If this statement was correct, it would suggest that the ship would have returned to a [[starbase]] or other space station to change the registry number on the hull had the Romulans not attacked. It would also suggest that the crew of the ''Prometheus'' modified the interior to reflect the new registry number before the old one was changed on the hull, which would explain why the interior and exterior registry numbers didn't match. |
