   Eh?  You say they never showed it, then you say it was seen in TNG?

   The U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-B, was first seen in the film "Star
Trek: Generations" released in 1994.  It is indeed an Excelcior-class,

on the Observation Lounge wall, but then again, so did the model of the
E-C.  Oh well...
