How do you pronounce the name of the Cheyenne Class?

shy-AN

emphasis on the second syllable. that's how to pronounce the name of the native american people called the cheyenne, and i presume that's where the ship class derives its name.

native american words make good ship names, lakota is one too.

Pretty sure it's pronounced 'Shy Anne', like a girl who blushes when you talk to her and doesn't look you in the eye  
If you've watched the last samurai then listen to how Tom Cruise says it

Thank, it feels odd commanding a ship and not even knowing what to call it.

Starfleet seems to like Native American names, they also have the Crazy Horse.

o yeah, epic name. if they did a lost era trek series i'd want the crazy horse to be an e1 and make lots of appearances helping out the ent c.

so many puns to make.

Wasn't the Crazy Horse an Excelsior-1 anyway?

yeah it got mentioned with some stock footage of the ent with an e1. it's canon, but weak as canon goes and there's a risk that they'd change it, so i felt it necessary to say i'd definitely want it to be an e1. not just because it had a canon appearance as e1, but because i think a series with an e1 in a big role would be fun. i'd love to see them deal with having 2 main ships, maybe those 2 ships (ent c and crazy horse) are assigned to same area, and work together a lot. would open a lot of doors.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Yes it was an Excelsior from the tng episode "Descent" when the admiral lectured Picard on losing Hugh to the Borg. It is preceived to be a Excelsior Class but the encylopidia says its a Cheyenne class. What do they know anyway.
