Talk:Columbia (TRS)/Archive 1

I've noticed some speculation that this is the lead ship of the original battlestar class. Is there a source for this? Since it's still in service at a time when Galactica is supposedly the only remaining ship of its class (as per the miniseries), I find this unlikely. --Peter Farago 12:46, 28 September 2005 (EDT)

The only source I've heard, noted in the Zoic information, was that all of the original battlestars except Galactica were upgraded. Zoic's original battlestar data matches some of the mentioned destroyed battlestars from the Battlestar article as well. If that is the case, none of the other original battlestars were likely to have survived the backdoor rooting that their networked computers allowed. I can verify nothing on Columbia, and until we get some studio data, I still see all this information suspect. Spencerian 14:26, 28 September 2005 (EDT)

I agree. Except for length figures and other information on the space ship models themselves, Zoic's information is highly suspect. --Peter Farago 16:59, 28 September 2005 (EDT)

Mixing Ship Data Template and TOS with RDM

This article looks awefully confused. The ship data template shows the RDM stuff, but a mention of the TOS is also here. The template really defines the page content when used, so, as this is a mentioned-only in both worlds, we can make two articles for each (and each with ship data template), we can delete the TOS information, or we can just delete the ship data template as we have no idea whatsoever of RDM Columbia's configuration (and likely never will). --Spencerian 10:20, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

Split, imo. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:20, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Columbia II?

Apparently, the tradition of calling the second Columbia "Columbia II" doesn't seem to exist in the Colonial Fleet... Does anyone know whether the US/UK navy do this? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 09:30, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
