Topic: The Wessels, Not The Whiskers !
Quote from Anton Yelchin:
"I think a lot of space is obviously green screen -- what I'm looking at while seeing the Klingon warships."


This jibes with the earlier rumor of Klingons. See Screen Rant's report from October 2007, which now qualifies as a scoop.

Yelchin mentions "Klingon warships", but these don't need to be crewed by Klingons.

Consider that Eric Bana's 24th-century Romulans stumble back in time without a ship. They'd commandeer a ship sometime after they arrive in the 23rd-century. However, use of a Romulan ship would violate Star Trek canon, because young Kirk et al have never seen any recent Rommie ships (per TOS "Balance of Terror").

So, how do the Romulans scoot around Earth, undetected, when even their cloaked ships are visible to Starfleet motion sensors? Answer: Borrow a ride from old allies with whom you've already shared technology.

The Romulans can use Klingon warships, thus keeping themselves and their Warbirds unknown. After all, Romulans do use Klingon D7 warships in TOS "The Enterprise Incident". A secret Romulan-Klingon alliance might've been decades old at that time.
