Although the ship was not actually seen in the original episode, its status as one of the Enterprise's sister ships was established on 10 May 2008, when the remastered version of the episode , into which the Intrepid was digitally added, was broadcast.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

The Constitution-class was originally designed by Matt Jeffries, the art director of "Star Trek". At the time, he was given free reign to come up with whatever he wanted, with the only specification from series creator Gene Roddenberry being that it not look like a "classic sci-fi rocket ship", and thus not have rockets or jets coming out of the back. Having produced dozens of different designs, some of which were revisited in later "Star Trek" series, the final design, featuring a large saucer connected by a gooseneck to a cigar shaped hull, which in turn had a pair of separate engine nacelles, was approved in August 1964.

Having built a three-foot study model, a larger, eleven-foot filming model was produced to be used initially in "The Cage", the pilot episode produced in 1964. While this model was primarily used as the Enterprise, it also featured as several other ships during the original run of "Star Trek", with stock footage used to represent the Exeter in "The Omega Glory", the Defiant in "The Tholian Web", and the four ship battle group in "The Ultimate Computer". For "The Doomsday Machine", the producers obtained one of the newly-released AMT model kits of the Enterprise and, having built and then suitably damaged it, used it as the crippled Constellation. When "Star Trek" was remastered in the early 2000s, many of the model shots were replaced with new CG footage, which allowed more detail to be shown on each individual ship, including, for the first time, each ship's individual registry number.
