We were having this discussion on another forum and I know we have discussed it earlier in this thread, but I'm fairly certain that the ship crashing into San Fran is not the Enterprise. Similar design, but it looks funky. The nacelles and everything look more like this ship, you can see Kirk space diving towards.

Seems likely to me. I can't see them actually destroying the Enterprise in the second film. Refit due to damage? Sure. but not kill it completely.

New image released. Looks like a photon torpedo.
Maybe a little early in the timeline for that. :lol
However, if that's just a standard torpedo it's pretty overdone IMO. One would think it should be a simpler design. Who knows, maybe it's an early Genesis experiment.

I thought it was a photon torpedo because of the "Photo93" on the side. And since they never showed photon torpedoes on TOS, I can buy this.
That's what I thought as well. But ya never know seeing as we know the future of Dr. Marcus. (Or do we? Altered timeline and all...)
IIRC the first time we saw a torpedo was TWOK. My thought process is that if you're designing something to blow up you don't make the casing all fancy like that. Minor beef though.
Am I missing a source for that? :confused

They were some kind of charged weapons but I never considered those photon torpedoes. In this clip you can see photons being shot from the base of the dorsal.
