-This ship was not specifically mentioned, but was listed in several starship status charts seen on the sets in the movie.  Its connection with the ''[[Whorfin class|Whorfin''-class'']]'' starships has never been confirmed, but it is conceivable (based purely on their similar ''[[registry]]'' numbers and the period in which these vessels are known to have operated) that that class of ships was named for this USS Whorfin. It may have also possibly been the prototype for that class.''
