Early drafts of the script had the Romulans as the bad guys, not Klingons (and a much darker plot involving Vulcans threatening to leave the Federation because of the Genesis Device). The ship we all know as the Klingon Bird of Prey was actually designed to be a Romulan ship. During the shooting of the Enterprise Incident, they were unhappy with how the Bird of Prey model was looking, so they made a quick change to the script and reused the Klingon model. The shared battle cruiser from TOS was built as a Klingon ship. There's an IRL explanation, but you won't like it.
