Note: Mr. Martillo's message appeared only in net.movies. I've sent my reply to net.startrek also because I figured there would be interest there. > In the Khan episode of the series, the Botony Bay was discarded after the > Enterprise was seized and Khan's crew revived.

There was no indication that the the ship's hull in TWOK was the hull of the *Botany Bay*. Chekov found some belts/strapping/whatever that had "Botany Bay" printed on them. It was clear that some supplies (personal ef- fects) from the *Botany Bay* were brought aboard the *Enterprise* when Khan's people were rescued. To be fair, this is from memory. Since I happen to have tapes of both "Space Seed" (uncut) and THE WRATH OF KHAN, I will check on this to confirm. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

In the television episiode, Khan specifically greets his dear friend
Joaquim on revival from suspended animation. In the movie Khan's dear
friend is Joachim. I must confess I thought Joachim was Khan's son by
McGuivers until I read the book.
