Happy April Fool’s Day. In reality I love all Starfleet ships equally. Except for the USS Equinox. That’s a garbage ship for garbage people.

    Thanks for the information but…

    S is the top grade above A

    why is S above A?

      S stands for superb or superior. It comes from Japanese and UK class grading systems.

        and UK class grading systems

        Uh… I’m British. There’s no S here.

        Thanks though.

          So the source i read maybe was wrong about the origin. It still means superb or super and is above A rankings.

            I always thought it originated from comic books where nerds would rank powers of various heroes and the S tier was named for Superman because he was in a tier of his own.

              Nah, it comes from Japanese grading systems and was then introduced to the West via video games.
