<ref name="Registry">The registry given for the ''Valiant'' in the ''Star Fleet Technical Manual,'' NCC-1709, conflicted with that in FASA materials, as well as that of the {{link|FASA|U.S.S. Lexington NCC-1709||U.S.S. ''Lexington'' NCC-1709}}. The 1709 registry was disregarded in favor of the registry in the FASA game materials. The subsequent listing for a second ''Valiant,'' NCC-1731, also conflicted with the FASA materials, and was disregarded.</ref>
<ref name="Mark2">While the ''Federation Ship Recognition Manual'' stated that the ''Valiant'' was first commissioned as a ''Constitution'' class (Mark II) cruiser on 2/0010, the ''Four Years War'' game supplement indicated that all of the ships listed in the ''Star Fleet Technical Manual'' were commissioned prior to the war, including the ''Valiant'' as a ''Bonhomme Richard'' class cruiser. An earlier listing for the ''Valiant'' NCC-1703 was disregarded, as it contradicted the FASA material stating that the ''Valiant'' was not part of the original 13 ''Constitution'' class vessels. This conflict was resolved with the ''Valiant'' first commissioned as a ''Bonhomme Richard,'' then refit to a ''Constitution'' Mark II. Its service record then continued as noted in the ''Federation Ship Recognition Manual.''</ref>
