| | Helix BBS > USS Bozeman more advanced than USS Excelsior? |
 | | Maybe Excelsior was the Flagship, especially when we consider that Sulu knew where the peace conference would be held (which i think i mentioned in one of my posts above), although their is an argument to be made that Enterprise-A was probably not told due to not being trusted by either sides. |
 | | What about the fact that the Excelsior wasnt (canonically) shown to be a fully commissioned starship at the time that Kirk and co were given the Enterprise-A? I doubt it even had a crew at that time considering Sulu was "betting on Excelsior", meaning that he would like to be an officer aboard that ship. |
 | | U.S.S. Excelsior, as the newest, biggest, baddest and most advanced ship in the fleet, would logically assume the role of Flagship after the brass was sure that she could operate properly. |
