	In the [[2240s]], [[2250s]], and [[2260s]], ''Constitution'' class heavy cruisers were commissioned with extremely simplified commissioning plaques.

The first four vessels, ''USS Constellation'' (NCC-1017), ''USS Republic'' (NCC-1371), ''USS Constitution'' (NCC-1700), and ''USS Enterprise'' (NCC-1701), all conducted prototype trials with the placeholder plaques reading "Starship Class" as a placeholder, with the program intent to provide permanent (and standard) plaques once they were properly commissioned. However, the four original commanding officers wanted the ships to keep their original style plaques, and the tradition continued for each of the vessels constructed thru the middle of the 2260s.

	Upon the formation of the United Federation of Planets, the members that took part in the Romulan War devoted a number of their surviving warships to the alliance, merging their fleets with that of the UESF, forming the new [[~~Starfleet~~]]. Adopted vessels retained their commissioning plaques (if any), while new-builds received the below version. The early ~~Starfleet~~ pennant was added and quotes received attribution. Note the example of the ''Daedalus'' below doesn't match regular production run vessel plaques: instead, the ship name was on the first line below the pennant, with the class name on the second. The word 'starship' would be on the third line. The sequential mention of the use of the name started with the first UFP ~~Starfleet~~ vessel to bear the name. Chain of command and the first commanding officer were no longer displayed, providing a much cleaner look to the plaque.

	As the development of the ''Constitution'' class heavy cruiser neared completion, ~~Starfleet~~ Headquarters felt spatial history was achieving a milestone and that a new era was started. It was decided to adopt a new symbol, replacing the eighty year-old pennant. The new plaques represented this change, as well. The overall clean look is retained, with the contracted shipyard for the vessel's construction represented to the left of the new symbol and the United Federations of Planets named to the right. Other than that, the structure was similar to the early ~~Starfleet~~ plaque.

	As ~~Starfleet~~ entered what would later be historically identified as the Troubled Era, it once again modified the representative symbology for the fleet. On the plaques, the fields to the sides of the symbol were cleared away and the class name and registry were displayed immediately following the vessel's name. In the third, fourth and fifth lines, the ship's commissioning date, numerical naming sequence and the UFP were declared (respectively). The upper chain of command, development and construction individuals returned to the plaque, albeit in a much simpler and cleaner format.

	~~Starfleet~~ adopted combadges in the [[2330s]] by retrofitting the previous TWOK insignia with the necessary electronics. In [[2348]] (no earlier than 2344, when the Ent-C was still using the older design; by Wesley's father was using the modern combadge in 2348), the new, slimmer combadge was introduced and similarly adopted for ship plaques of that same year. The class name (even if of that same class) and the registry fall immediately beneath the ship name, with the constructing ship yard (and location) on the third line. The numerical naming sequence and the commissioning date were provided on the fourth and the fifth line displayed the UFP. The upper chain of command, development and construction individuals were still in use, though limited to only four columns.

	In [[2370]], ~~Starfleet~~ adopted a newer version of the combadge, where the circle base was replaced by two joined, parallel lines; the symbol was adopted for the plaques, as well. The second line was changed to reflect the registry and then the class, with the commissioning date and the constructing shipyard on the third. The initial sector of assignment was added to the fourth line, along with the UFP. The upper chain of command, development and construction individuals were increased to six columns.
