do we really know if this Defiant was the third to carry the name? We know the Enterprise D was the fifth because the computer said so in "Relics" but is there any such data on the Defiant? --[[User:TOSrules|TOSrules]] 02:43, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's pretty insignificant, but I was wondering: did we ever see the ''Sao Paolo'''s original registry, or the exterior of the ship with the name "''Sao Paolo''"? If so, does anyone know whether it was written with the tilde over the "a" (''São Paolo'') or not? Should the article text say ''São Paolo'' or "Sao Paolo"? --[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] 23:15, 30 Mar 2005 (EST)

[[User:59.167.40.181]] recently changed all the references within this article (as well as [[USS São Paulo|USS ''São Paulo'']]) from '''NCC-75633''' to '''NCC-74205-A''' and provided this addendum to chew on for why:
 
   
  +
"The São Paulo's motto was "Give me Liberty or give me Death...", a quote by Patrick Henry. The ship was "named for the people of Brazil." "
: ''The New CGI Scenes made for "What You Leave Behind" clearly show a "-A" suffix attached to the registry, as opposed to the Sao Paulo's original NCC-75633 Registry. The CGI modellers who "refit" the original starship added the -A in the belief that the Defiant did indeed qualify as a legendary starship. Unadulterated views of the CGI model with -A are available in the DS9 Season 7 Box Set's special feature "The Making of What You Leave Behind"''
 
  +
I don't know if this is canon, but as it is 'named for the people fo Brazil', the motto would be 'Independence or Death' as the independence motto of Brazil. Just FYI, anyway. =]

== USS Sao Paulo ==
My two points of question here are:
 
   
  +
If you are in reference to the USS Sao Paulo-that-became-the-Defiant, we never saw it's original NCC because the model used for shooting was the same model that was the USS Defiant NX 74205. --[[User:Clarkhennessy|Clarkhennessy]] 20:49, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*I seem to remember this is something Ira Behr suggested (adding an A), but couldn't because they wanted to reuse scenes for the last episode, and hence couldn't change the model. They most certainly didn't add an A. The exterior showed the old Defiant's number, but I think (don't remember off the top of my head) there's a source for the current number. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 02:17, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

* The final scenes clearly showed NCC-74205-A in the scene where the Breen warship was coming up the ass of the Defiant just as the Cardassians switch scenes. And in the scene where the defiant barrel-rolls past the galaxy with the camera tracking it's bridge, you can read NCC-74205-A - [[User:59.167.40.181|59.167.40.181]] 05:55, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

* I have watched those scenes again just now, there is NO mention of 74205-A. Every single shot of the Defiant registry reads NX-74205. Besides, if there had been an A-suffix, it would have read NCC-74205-A, since a second Defiant would not have been a prototype anymore. The claim is inaccurate. --[[User:Defstar|Defstar]] 03:18, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well, I watched "What you leave behind" again closely (as I've mentioned on the other talk page) and I have found NO occurrance of NX-74205-A or NCC-74205-A. Every shot clearly reads "NX-74205" on the hull. It seems there IS no substantiation, the claim is simply inaccurate. I cannot speak for the Making Of, but the episode itself clearly does not show any 74205-A registry. --[[User:Defstar|Defstar]] 03:29, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I haven't seen the DVD behind the sceens either, but I've never seen NCC-74205-A anywhere on screen before. It may have been the intent of the producers to have an A suffix, but it never made it on screen. --[[User:Sloan47|Sloan47]] 22:17, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
* That would suggest that the faux Sao Paolo/Defiant had it's registry changed to NX-74205 rather then the Sao Paolo's original registry, which easily means the claim is justified in terms of the registry not being changed from the original ship's for the final scenes.

As far as i remember in that Episode. Starfleet Operations gave Sisko Special Dispensation to Change the name AND Registry number of the Sao paolo to the original of the Defiant. So the name, the registry number, and the dedication plaque should have been changed to reflect the Special dispensation granted.
* I just watched those scenes too. There is NO -A on the Defiant in any of the scenes, be it the ones they reused from earlier episodes or the new ones that were created for "What you leave behind". There is also no Scene that shows the registry number being NCC - 75633 I stand by that the Registry number was changed back to the original and this page should also reflect that the Defiant is NX-74205 and was never anything else. When the Sao paolos name was changed so was its registry number.

I am wondering why there are two pages for this one ship. [[USS Defiant (NCC-75633)]] has its own page. I know that the name was changed, but why is that a reason to have two pages? It would seem beneficial to have all of the relevant information about this ship and its history on a single page and then use a redirect for the other name.
