In "Brothers", the Zhukov was identified as being a starship with the registry NCC-62136. This information was repeated in an internal list of starships, dated September 26, 1990. The Zhukov, as it appeared in "Data's Day," also bore the hull registry of NCC-62136, in agreement with the chart from "Brothers" and the internal list of starships; its name was also misspelled as "Zuhkov." These markings were not visible on screen and were later determined to be production errors.
