Actually, not true. 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.
