Shuttlecraft are considered boats!! Any vessel that can be hauled aboard a ship (starship in this case) is a boat and is therefore subject to nameing conventions such as "Galileo II"!! Yes of course, there are exceptions. The building authorization of SD::4444.00, provided four(4) replacements to the 12 original Class-I MK-IX CA Starships. (see the Tech Manual). However, records now show that one or more of these replacement ships were actually replacing the older upgraded Local Defence Monitors which were authorized just after the Romulan War had proved that "National Fleets" were still important for the Federation's Internal Security. Some of these "LDM"'s were built so well, from designs from the late 20th Century/early 21st Century, that they became testing platforms for designing the Constitution Class Starships and a few of those are still around today, like the USS Repulic NCC-1371.

There is still over 70% of the tapes undecoded!
