Barry Margolin points out that the Romulans and Klingons have some kind
of trade agreements with the Klingons.  I seem to have forgotten this,
but went back and read the Enterprise Incident in the Star Trek 4 book.
It mentions in there that the battle cruiser the female commander has
is modeled after Klingon warships, so I suppose it this explains the
Klingons having the cloaking device, although I believe the movie is
the first time this is brought out.

The ship landing was pretty impressive, one of the more impressive
effects in the film.  Maybe the Enterprise was trying the same thing
earlier on Genesis :-).

Brian Matthews mentions:
I also have a question about the Klingons.  They now have a cloaking
device, but I though only the Romulans had them.  Also, when the
Klingon ship first appears, I thought someone said something about a
"Bird of Prey" although I may have been wrong.  It's something to watch
for.
--------------------

I have heard that the Klingons and Romulans have some trade agreements.
If I remember correctly, in "The Enterprise Incident" (in which Spock
seduces the female Romulan commander), the Romulans were using a Klingon
battle cruiser.

I certainly would call this ship a "bird".  Watch it land!
