	I agree, the Kirk would not get a full class ship, imeadiately.
Interestingly, the 'Mirror-Universe complecations after the end of the
last film' story is currently running in the comic-book adaptions.
	(Now wait a moment - Imagine a mirror-universe New Federation.)
	In the story, which I only started because it IS following on
the concept of - after the end of the film..., the mirror-universe
devlops a process of sending an entire ship (the mirror-Enterprise),
and in the ensuing issues, real Kirk escapes with the Excabler to the
mirror-universe, the alter-Kirk tries to adjust to our Federation,
and the alter-spock retireves Spock on alter-Kirks orders.  Who he then
rebels against and joins the real-Spock and Kirk to the alter-dimention
for the overthrowing of the old Federation....I may have lost someone
here..it is interesting.
	And it allows Kirk to save the day, once again.

SHLOCK:	And you've got just what you've allways wanted.
JERK:	What's that, Commander Shlock?
SHLOCK: A bleached blonde in a red convertable on the planet Schwartz.
JERK:	Yeah, Aint I something?
