	I seem to remember in one of the STAR TREK episodes that the Enterprise
could be self-destructed by letting all the matter and anti-matter "mix" at one
time.  I assume that such a blast would cause significant damage to the planet
the Enterprise was orbiting at the time.  I don't think this method is the only
way of blowing up the old girl.

	Remember, in ST III, Kirk and crew wanted to blow up the Enterprise and
GET OUT!  They planned to beam to Genesis to get to Spock and have a fighting
chance.  They only wanted to destroy the Enterprise and hopefully take out a
few Klingons in the process.  The method they used probably had some type of
fail-safe to protect the anti-matter so only the ship would go.

	Or maybe they hit the old "Destroy-the-ship-and-kill-Klingons" button.
