He blinks. He blinks and looks back at Kirk, and there isn't a stitch of belief there. To him, this sounds like quite the fantasy. Especially since it's 2240 where he's from, and... wait.
Since it's not classified, he shakes his head again. "Nothin' about this ship's Constitution-class." His reasoning being that the Constitution, NCC-1700 was officially launched this year after trials, where she was the NX-1700; in theory, then, what this Kirk fellow is saying is that this is the 1701, yet unnamed in the San Francisco Fleet Yards and not even close to completion.
Though, admittedly, when he says the words 'Constitution-class, there's a wistful, longing note in his voice, if only for a moment. No doubts that some things must be universal, regardless of the age. And he certainly has studied what was released unclassified about the Constitution; he knows what her class should look like, and this isn't it.
