Please! The dreadnaughts were a fabrication of Frank Joseph which he
included in his STAR FLEET TECHNICAL MANUAL. That publication is *not*
official canon, and Paramount is not obligated to use anything that
Joseph made up for it, any more than they are obligated to use anything
that appears in any of the novels. I suppose they *can* use them, but
until Paramount includes them in a movie or something else official,
they essentially don't exist.

That's a nice joke (and it was used on the new THAT WAS THE WEEK IT
WAS the other night), but it should be "Mikhail", not "Michale".
