This episode is notable for marking the on-air debut of the Klingon D-7 Battle Cruiser... being flown by the ''Romulans!'' In-story, this is briefly explained by Spock relaying a Starfleet Intelligence report that confirms that Romulans now have Klingon ships in their fleet. Although the ship was designed and used in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E13ElaanOfTroyius Elaan of Troyius]]", which was the second episode produced for the third season ("The Enterprise Incident" was the fourth), "Elaan" would be the thirteenth episode aired, ''after'' the D-7 appeared again in "[[StarTrekS3E7DayOfTheDove Day of the Dove]]". The 2006 remastered series would retroactively add D-7s to earlier episodes such as "[[StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Errand of Mercy]]" and "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble with Tribbles]]".
