Those sideways engines are freaky-deeky!

Well the latest we see a Connie in service is DS9 The Sound of her Voice, the USS Olympia which was lost in 2371
Which is really impressive since Discovery confirmed that the Enterprise was constructed in 2245; so the class has been in service at least 126 years.

Could be close to 150 years, assuming if the Constitution is constructed before Enterprise, putting it around after 2230s.

Indeed, possibly even earlier given that the Constellation has such a low registry number.

I just brush lower registry numbers like the Constellation as it was not originally a Constitution-Class, but more of an early class of starship which almost has the same basic shape and layout, somehow, it was retrofitted. They just changed the class, but kept the name and number. I mean, real world Naval vessels can get extensive refit, and the ship's class totally changed, even its purpose.
That's for TOS era, maybe for TNG, the registry numbers could be reserved.

True, I just usually go with there being a sudden surge in numbers of starship type vessels, since in that era there was a distinct difference between a starship and a space vessel and not every vessel operated by starfleet or in association with them got an NCC designation.

It's just a simple rotated nacelles, and just striped the side window. And yes, I find it odd that no one created this.
