Based on an edit summary today: the SFTM version does not seem 'incompatible' with the Dreadnought! history at all. SFTM states the vessel was authorized (but not built), the novel shows the vessel was eventually built based on an initial authorization, but to different specifications. Since the SFTM was referring to the construction in the future tense, it is easily believable (and compatible) that they simply did not build the vessel base on that original plan. -- Captain MKB 19:31, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
