File talk:USS Kelvin photon torpedo launchers.jpg

These were actually identified in the script as photon torpedo launchers. Could someone rename this to File:USS Kelvin torpedo launchers.jpg.


 * Before doing this, I have to ask: were they identified as anything in the movie itself? -- Cid Highwind 16:58, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nope. In the dialogue all they say is "Fire all phasers" at the beginning of the battle when they are only firing with the red beams. Later on they start firing these also after Captain Robau is killed on the Narada, the script says they are firing photons also at this point:


 * 26MA EXT. U.S.S. KELVIN - CONTINUOUS 26MA
 * The Kelvin BANKS AGAIN -- its PHOTONS SLAMMING INTO THE ONCOMING
 * NARADA TORPEDOES, JUST AVOIDING IMPACT!

...which to me makes it pretty clear the blue bolts slamming into narada torpedoes are the photon torps called for in the script. All they say at that point in the film is that this rapid firing of all weapons is part of the "Bravo-six maneuver" but there are no displays or other dialogue to say anything more about these blue bolts. Enterprise torps look almost exactly the same but a bit brighter blue bolts at the end of the film. And photon is synonymous in the script with photon tordedo. --Pseudohuman 09:32, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
