Footnote *
- I have to reject the idea of this being a one-off Starfleet kitbash. A further discussion of the reasons are given here. One very good reason is the Centaur registry number itself- NCC 42043. This indicates it is an older ship, somewhere around 40 years old at the time of the Dominion war. So it cannot really be a kitbash, built specially for the Dominion war campaign. If Starfleet were going to build such a kitbashed ship using Excelsior parts, this would in essence be a new ship, so one would have thought it would get a new registry number....
- It is unknown what class name the Centaur has, but for argument's sake I've just called it 'Centaur Class' here. Certain popular candidates are Renaissance, Merced and Chimera Class.

KEY
| O= Operational |
| OR= Operational after Refit or Repairs |
| DD= In Drydock for repairs or refit * |
| T= Training Vessel |
| U= Under construction prior to preliminary trials |
| D= Destroyed |
| Sc= Scrapped or Decommissioned |
| PD= Presumed Destroyed |
| M= Missing |
*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.
The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon. For an explanation on the specs, and what the Ship designations mean, see Spec Definitions.
