I wish I could still find it, but there were a LOT of elements from Phase 2 that were eventually carried over into TNG. Decker and Ilia would be Riker and Troi, the full Vulcan trying to figure out humans would become Data and I know there was something about the Phase 2 Enterprise becoming the Enterprise C, if only seen briefly
Here's Andy Probert's initial drawing of the Abassador Class/ Enterprise Charlie:

Trivia: this new Enterprise and her sisters were to have a saucer who's detatchment and planetfall was part of her standard operational profile. Planetside starbases had a huge landing field of several square kilometers where the saucers of multiple starships could land and disembark at once.
