This would apparently be the first time in the new ST movies that the ship gets destroyed.

Now indeed in the first two, that ship got pretty screwed up, but it was not destroyed. In fact, as you can clearly see the NCC-1701 on the top of the ship as it flies by in the trailer. This is still the same (as yet) un-destroyed ship they have been flying since the first new ST came out.

Now in the first two movies the ship did take a beating, however it came through not destroyed in both.

This is an entirely new timeline, so the old movie ST stuff is not going to happen. However, in both timelines, Khan did kill one of the crew (Kirk and Spock). So why wouldn't the ole NCC-1701 get destroyed in a movie like they did in ST III? How cool will it be to see the next in line of the Constitution class ships - NCC-1701-A and 1701-B (Sulu commanded this one)?
