Starfleet Tactical #184: Star Trek Spaceflight Chronologys Marshall-class Destroyer [31 Jan 2026@9pmET]
Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda defined Star Trek more than any people other than the Genes (Roddenberry & Coon) themselves. Last episode we looked at Sternbachs Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology (1979). This week well do a deep dive on a standout ship of that book, the Marshall-class destroyer. Well look at what little history we have, put it in context, and then do a deep dive on the most extensive source available on the class, the (non-canon) blueeprints of Jim JBOT Botaitis [https://www.jbot.ca/blueprints.shtml]. (Weve looked at his stuff before, and while we have some differences of opinion in approach, we *really* like his stuff.) And then well finish with a few ideas about variants and the like. So, come explore the Marshall class!
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.
CHRISTOPHER WEUVE is a professional naval analyst and wargame designer. He is a co-founder of the Connections Online wargame conference, held every April via YouTube. Outside the day job, Chris is a co-founder of BuNine (David Webers Honorverse analytic visualization team), and has also consulted with Chuck Gannon, Walter Hunt, Alec Peters, Tom Harlan, John Lumpkin, and others. His work has been featured by Baen Books, the US Naval War College Review, Foreign Policy, and the Discovery Channel. Since May 2020 hes been the co-host (with Pat Doyle) of Starfleet Tactical on the Ares Studio channel on YouTube. His hobbies are naval history, science fiction, and not speaking for his employer.
