The Drex Files - Ships Of The Line: Active Duty!
I had to think about it for a minute, but as incredible as it may seem, the Ships Of The Line calendar is 15 years old!

The phone rings... and it’s my friends at startrek.com calling to remind me that another DrexTV segment ...

StarTrek.com's Guest Blogger, Doug Drexler, gives fans an insiders look at never seen before images and exclusive interviews in the first edition of "The Drex Files - A Video Addendum."
