- There are 14 versions of the the Enterprise in Star Trek, actually there are even more if you count alternate reality versions. Here is a rundown of these iconic ships from the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 in the original series to the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 F in Stat Trek Online and even the Enterprise J in the 26th century

UPDATE: two mistakes to correct, 1. USS Enterprise CVN 65 is not kitty hawk class (but was preceded by kitty hawk class), it was a class of its own. 2. There was an additional Enterprise aircraft carrier that we missed, it appears in an episode of “Enterprise”
Additional Enterprise is WW2 USS Enterprise cv-6 yorktown class...the more modern one is the USS Enterprise and is the lead ship of her class.
one of your idiot viewers I think believed you that there was no enterprise class over me whom actually served on that ship
@@jmwloup5110 who me??
@@jmwloup5110, all I'm doing is pointing out the 2 carriers that were named Enterprise
@@mrx5840 no not everything is about you
Best line: "This Enterprise was captained by a man who also ran a school for gifted youngsters in upstate New York!" Spot on hilarious.
You mean Gurney Halleck?
@@drippingwax no Patrick
Westchester County isn't actually Upstate. It's Downstate. Still a great line
@@marinuswillett6147 "upstate" is usually used to describe anywhere in NY that isn't NYC. Idk why
Capable guy!
One of my favorite "Enterprise" lines is in the first episode of Star Trek TNG with Lt. Commander Data escorting Admiral McCoy. Adm. McCoy says "Well, this is a new ship. But she's got the right name. Now, you remember that, you hear? You treat her like a lady. And she'll always bring you home."
@Eric Hanson I watched that last night and McCoy also called Data boy several times with a strong southern accent.
@@JohnFourtyTwo he studied at Ole Miss , so one assumes he was a southerner
@@SantomPh He often referred to himself as a "country doctor" in the Original Series.
amen its still bring tears to my eyes when he said it
Brought a tear to my eye 😢
3:13 Nasa actually changed the space shuttle's name from Constitution to Enterprise after a letter writing campaign from masses of Star Trek fans
Bas which is itself ironic, as the original Enterprise was Constitution-class.
I remember letters. Made out of paper or something, weren't they?
So the fans got a forgettable prototype instead of an actual working space shuttle. Great work there.
@@Merecir Except the prototype, as a result, is far from forgettable.
@@filthycasual8187 Sorry I should have said 'relatively forgettable' compared to the actual vehicles that went to space...
For me it's the Enterprise D. I just love that flying city aesthetic of it. It's built for long range exploration, and long term habitation. In a series about exploration, that works a lot better than a cramped battleship.
So big that you'd never have to interact with anyone else if you didn't want to. It had enough room for 10 times the nominal crew & family size, even taking the cetacean quarters into consideration.
Up until the rise of the Borg threat and then Dominion War. Which then forced the return to more combat orientated designs. And then to the blend of formidable combat potential ships with diplomatic space, but not quite Galaxy class luxury.
@@nolanturner5607 An then they went back to Galaxy class luxury in Enterprise J according to the designer of the ship.
I hate the D. It’s too stubby, and squat and its nacelles are way too small.
Pphhlltt! 1701-D looks like an ugly mushroom! Nothing can beat the Constitution Class Refit! 1701 and 1701-A! Only the TOS Connie comes close!!
“Sir, we can’t call the ship Enterprise!”
“Why not?”
“How about Prometheus?”
“It’s a Greek tragedy! Who wants that?”
Well it beats Excelsior. Who names a ship after packing material!? (Well, maybe Stan Lee...)
Stargate SG-1! Nice reference.
@@robertduran7562 Yep and it's easily one of my favorite all-time TV shows/fanchises.
@@JohnFourtyTwo Mine as well. Never get tired of rewatching.
@@robertduran7562 I usually watch the entire franchise once a year, taking care to stagger the DVDs during the SG1/SGA joint seasons, and popping the two movies in where they belong as well.
The prequal Catherine wasn't too bad but you could tell it was made on a greatly reduced budget.
2:49 You mean, she was a "Nuclear Wessel"
fun fact - that actually wasn't cvn-65 USS Enterprise. she was out to sea, so they used another carrier that happened to be in port at the time. USS Ranger i believe.
@@oldfrend another fun fact, the scene where they have Chekhov asking people in The City where they keep the "Nuclear Wessels", it is was supposedly just a passer by who told them that they were in Alameda.
Personal story: I was born in 1984, and was a child when i saw the film on VHS and TV, and it wasn't until I was a teenager or so that I realized the humor behind having a man in red military regalia and a Russian accent asking where the "Nuclear Wessels" were.
In Alameda
noo-klee-ar wessel
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
The Enterprise E is still my absolute favorite Starfleet design. The Sovereign class is just so gorgeous.
are you sure it wasn't the uss enterprise J universe class?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
D was the BEST FACT
I always considered the Enterprise as a part of the crew. Kirk's friend. Scotty's lover. Sulu's toy. McCoy's waiting room. Spock flying lab. Uhura's phone.
dont forget the red shirt's coffin!
our dreams
Chekov?
Kirk's lover. Scotty's daughter. Thus the unspoken tension between them throughout the original cast years.
And Chekov's gun
I love how the space shuttle Enterprise would not have been named the Enterprise in real life if Star Trek hadn’t existed in real life, yet it ends up in later iterations of Star Trek. Predestination paradox?
And what was the shuttle's name originally supposed to be? The Constitution. Fits well with the class of the USS Enterprise.
Considering there are dozens of notable seafaring vessels with the name, the Space Shuttle Enterprise of the Star Trek universe has plenty of options for namesakes.
Any name they had choosen in the 60's would have been as successful as " Enterprise. " Unless they choose "Richard Nixon" .
Actually not too surprising considering how closely the cast of Star Trek worked with NASA through the years. Hell the woman who played Uhara in the TOS was asked by NASA to do a NASA recruiting video in hopes to gain women and minorities. I remember my father who is now a retired NASA employee twlling me he remembers meeting her and Roddenberry. Roddenberry asked him certain questions about general astronomy for the show. Uhara he only had a chance to shake hands with.
Or how about the IXS Enterprise?
CV-6 is not just an additional ship that happened to be named Enterprise, she was the most decorated warship in US Navy history
And thus, responsible for most on this list to be named, Enterprise.
Stole my thunder brother! Roddenberry admitted that the choice of the name Enterprise for his ship was because in this relatively post WWII period the vast majority of adults knew of the USS Enterprise cv-6 and her illustrious record. Unlike today, when most people don't even know a person in the military, all the adult males I knew growing up had served in the Army or Navy in WWII or Korea. The USS Enterprise CVN 65 was in service in 1966 but not nearly as famous!
Yep, the main reason that "Enterprise" is a hallowed and storied ship name.
It didn’t appear though, which was why it’s not on the list...its successor did appear, the equally impressive nuclear powered Enterprise
@@bostonrailfan2427 That’s more of a testament to the ignorance of the person who made this list, than anything to do with why Roddenberry named his ship the Enterprise. The people who made that list probably didn’t even know there was a carrier named enterprise in WWII. CVN 65’s only claim to fame was that it was the first nuclear powered American super carrier. CV6 USS Enterprise remains the most decorated warship in US history.
The Universe Class(and the Enterprise J) also shows up in Star Trek Online; the J herself is the focus of several storyline missions(with some surprising guest stars reprising their classic roles) where players get to take part in the Battle of Procyon V from both inside -and- outside of the ship! The Universe Class ship itself can also be obtained either from a certain lockbox or through the game's exchange market. :)
It was in a promotional R&D event, not a lockbox
The Enterprise "J" was designed by a retrained pizza maker.
Italy took over the Earth and is now in Space: -Enterprise J- *Pizzaprise l*
@@thelastprussian6491 Pizza the Hutt runs that franchise, Dark Helmet.
@@bo0tsy1 Taco the Bell is working hard to keep up with the competition, but it's tough
Riker winds up being a captain and a pizza chef in Picard. Perhaps....?
You're talking about discovery.
At 5:45 you had the perfect opportunity to use Scotties line "No bloody A, B, C, or D". It would have been perfect!
Correct ma'n an I'll have'n a wee drop of the creature, neat if you please and not the bloody synthahol!
@@ditzydoo4378 🤔 I think that was the stereotypical Irishman not Scotty. Though I can't remember what Scotty said after trying Guinans/Picards drink so it may have been said twice
@@mixerfistit5522 well kiss me Sir, I am Irish. but as I recall Scotty asked for Scotch Neat in 10-Forward only to be served synthahol. That's were Data gave him the bottle of Green Aldebaran Whisky he had on the holo-deck. Picard had given it originally to Gyna as a gift.
And it is Scotty's ship which gets my vote as my favorite Enterprise.
One of the other best lines ever said on Next Gen. Awesome!
"We met the Enterprise..."
"Which Enteprise, Captain? Be specific. There's been five."
"Fifteen!"
The timing of that joke was perfect.
The only one who really counted- CV 6! The Big E herself.
That’s a reference from a DS9 episode with some temporal investigators, wasn’t it? One corrected the other saying there were six Enterprises instead of five, because of the NCC-1701-E seen in movies at the time
USS ENTERPRISE CVAN 65 NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING & DRYDOCK CO . NEW PORTNEWS VA . NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION
USS ENTERPRISE CVAN FIRST COMMANDING OFFICER CAPTAIN VINCENT DE POIX
And in the movie, the carrier Enterprise was "portrayed" by the USS Ranger.
My first introduction to Star Trek was TOS so the first NCC-1701 has a special place in my heart but I do like the design of the NCC-1701-E
you removed it from the packaging it's no longer a collectible!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was stationed at NAS North Island when they filmed the “Enterprise” scenes for Star Trek 4 using the USS Ranger as a stand in. It was odd to see Ranger with a USS Enterprise brow cover.
@Jim Rollins I didn't make it North Island until about a year later for stretcher bearer training with helos and there was still a little talk going on about the Star Trek movie they shot there about a year earlier.
Ironic thing about movies, I had just graduated Bootcamp in San Diego for a few weeks when I noticed they were cleaning up that back gate that runs by the Chapel and NEX on the NTC side. I didn't know what was going on at the time but as soon as Top Gun came out I recognized that area in the scene where Maverick and his girlfriend are speeding out that gate. Before they cleaned it up it was full of weeds, trash, and a feral cat community.
You missed arguably the MOST IMPORTANT Enterprise: CV-6. The vessel in which Gene Roddenbery himself named the starship Enterprise after for its untouchable WWII service record.
It was never on screen in Star Trek
@@twandepan It was shown in the formal briefing room on the Enterprise in TMP, and it was also referenced in the ENT episode 'Storm Front' from Capt Archer's patch.
@@85MasterV I have never seen it in the briefing room of the TMP enterprise, but I believe you. It should be in this list then
Didn't Roddenberry actually serve on the CV-6? Also the guy who founded Enterprise Rent-A-Car served on it.
I’m not satisfied, redeem yourself and present USS Enterprise, CV-6, who was the most decorated warship in the American navy in world war 2.
Also the reason Roddenbery named his starship Enterprise
wasnt the ruling that it had to be an enterprise that featured in the shows? one way or another? if so, did the CV-6 feature in star trek? I can't remember if it did
@@ThePr0jection oof forgot about that thanks
@@ThePr0jection It was shown as a lithograph in the briefing room of TMP with the other vessels named Enterprise. It was also mentioned in Enterprise, beginning of season 3.
Yup, the Big E was, and still is, THE Enterprise to me. That ship was the one who really made Enterprise into a name that everyone knew. WWII was fought only 20 years before the original TV show and that name would have been instantly recognized by any and all adults at the time. CV6 USS Enterprise was a household name at the time. It's somewhat astounding that THIS SHIP didn't make the video. Go figure.
Oh darn you forgot the WWII aircraft carrier. Most decorated ship to come out of the war.
No they didn't because they had the rule that it had to be in Star Trek and that carrier was not featured in a show, unless it was also in the Enterprise intro in which case you would be correct. However I don't think that particular naval vessel was featured.
@@darrenskjoelsvold But it was mentioned. Remember the episode when Archer travelled back to World War II Earth which the Nakuul (know I spelt that wrong) was changing history? A lady asked him of he was from the carrier and then mentioned i was sunk.
@@juliusarchibaldiv3880 Ahhhh, ok so perhaps then it should have been in. But was it shown on the screen? Hmmm... Well, honestly I would have liked the WWII Enterprise to be featured too because It really deserves more attention. Good ship, good crew and all that. And also good point Julius.
It was never shown on screen. Don't forget that he said he had to condense it. There were 15 different HMS Enterprises, as well as an infinite number of alternative universe's Enterprises.
Yes, the Yorktown class
USS Enterprise CV-6 was a true legend, throughout wwii she earned 20 battlestars, the most battle honours ever awarded to a single US ship, she sunk 71 enemy ships and destroyed 911 enemy aircraft. She was there from the beginning, barely missed Pearl Harbor, to Okinawa. Several times the Japanese thought she was sunk, earning her the nickname the Grey Ghost. At one time she kept the entire pacific fleet afloat for months. She was the most successful and the most decorated ship in the history of the US, if not any navy.
"Kept the Pacific Fleet afloat for months" doing so while being battle damaged also!
Not to mention, at one point the ONLY Operational carrier we had against all of japan.
Actually cvn65 was such a legend it was going to be the last one named uss enterprise as many others had president names
@@jmwloup5110 No, the Navy makes it a point now to always have a carrier named Enterprise in the fleet. They are either getting ready to or already building the next one right now.
LegoGenius16 actually cvn65's enterprise signage was scraped for this reason the only reason the name was saved is that the city of norfolk (its homeport) wanted to keep the ship which would be too costly the compromise was keep the name and they could scrap the ship which was less costly even final enterprise coins were made before this compromise I actually own one
One of my fav moments in Star Trek is Chekov telling Kirk that the 20th century nuclear vessel they found was the Enterprise. It kind of makes the Trek universe more real and immersive. At least for me.
The CV-6 was the most famous US Aircraft Carrier in WW2
As far as I recall the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B was seen at the beginning of Start Trek Generations, setting up the movie, not as a flashback scene.
CORRECT SIR!!! I liked that Excelsior class starship better than the original ship design.
@Daryl Gerard Morrissey Let's see, half the crew wasn't due to report onboard until next Wednesday, the parts to fix the transporter wasn't expected in until next Wednesday, only Captain Kirk was available to work on the deflector dish. Kirk must've had some serious free-time on his hands in retirement to get qualified to work on transporters and such. The captain and crew of the Enterprise B were pathetic at best because none of them knew how to do anything except shrug their shoulders.
@@michaelkantner6420 I was never keen on the Excelsior ship, preferring the Constitution refit and the later Sovereign class.
It wasn't a flashback because there were no harp strings and blurry shots
@@DarylGerardMorrissey I think C and D are the best ones, but i agree the excelsior is the worst of the classic designs.
the JJ Abrams fakeTrek remakes, though.... those ships are by far the worst.
The enterprise E would look better if the underside of the "saucer" section didnt look like they just completely forgot to finish the model. the underside looks like the bottom of a plastic storage tray. it looks unfinished
CVN 65 Enterprise is not a Kitty Hawk class ship. She was her own class of 1 ship. She was so expensive that congress ordered the next class of carrier to be conventionally powered (those were the Kitty Hawk class)
Actually enterprise was built between the second and third kitty hawk ships, not entirely before. But yeah you are right otherwise. They had to do a design overhaul to deal with some of the Big E's flaws, and the Nimitz class was then born.
No, the Kittyhawk class came before the Enterprise class, however, future plans for further ships in the Enterprise class were cancelled, and a couple more Kittyhawks were ordered instead. This is because the Enterprise class had some design flaws to it. Once all that was worked out they went back into nuclear power with the Nimitz class, not even a decade later.
Dude is right wikipedia says it is an enterprise class carrier
Yes uve all said wat I was gona say get ur facts right boys I mean u fuckin nerds at generation films u are letting the side down
@@james8449100 Wikipedia is wrong from time to time...and this is one of them. I am assuming at least a few of the others commenting are Ex-US Navy, as I am. Trust me, the Enterprise is a class of 1. She is not even laid out the same as any of the others...especially the S#!tty Hawk. I served on the S#!tty kitty.
My favorite is the USS Enterprise CV-6 in real life, but my favorite Star Trek ship is U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701, Captained by Captain James T. Kirk, I used to watch Star Trek on TV back in the 1970's, Yes I'm A USMC Boomer.
I hope, for the sake of our men and women in the Navy, that the next Enterprise is a decent ship.
The next USS Enterprise is a projected Gerald Ford class supercarrier.
Just recently found your videos, really loving them. Great work.
Like so many others have said, the CVN-65 was an Enterprise Class Supercarrier. She was suppose to spearhead a new generation of naval warships, but proved to expensive to produce in numbers. So the Navy came up with the Nimitz Class that was slower but carried more fuel and armament for the airwing due to a different hull design. Old CVN-65 was one to herself and the fastest capital ship in the Navy before she was decommissioned.
cvn65 wasnt a supercarrier but the first nuclear carrier giving it the title "the first and the finest"
@@jmwloup5110 It was the only one to house 8 nuclear reactors, as opposed to 2 that the Nimitz class has. A factor of 4 times more allows one to call them super. The new Ford class has also 2, but they are more fuel efficient and as such more eco-friendly.
@@zvonimirhorvatic6058 when were you on my ship? I dont recall ever seeing you there
Never could understand why Federation starships named Enterprise have memorials of the ship’s named Enterprise that always skip the most important Enterprise, Big E, CV-6. The one that the original Enterprise was named after.
Some of them don't
Just to make it clear, there has been two carriers named enterprise, the one you talked about then the one that served during World War Two in the fight the Japanese
I like this video as it shows the history and legacy of a legend and as Captain Picard said near the end of Yesterday's Enterprise 'Let's Make sure history never forgets the name ENTERPRISE' and future generations will make sure of that.
My favorite is NX-01. Star Trek: Enterprise will always be my favorite.
Kirk wasn't killed on the enterprise. The energy ribbon snatched him into an alternative universe where he lived until Picard came to get him out.
But in Universe he died on the ship and it is implied that Picard never told anyone what exactly happened on veridian 3.
There's official history and unofficial history. Official history has him dying during the accident on ship. Due to the events that unfold in the future, we know this is factually inaccurate. The unofficial history has him dying planet side in the future. Whether Picard filed a report in this or not doesn't change the fact that he did not die on ship.
"Instead of 'Captain on the bridge' it's 'Bridge on the Captain" I read somewhere...
@@redfonzie21 kind of ironic, really. The show used to end with the captain on the bridge and it all ended with a bridge on the captain.
He died in the Nexusversion of Picard. So technically is true, from a certain Point of view
Me: *CV-6 Enterprise*
My grandfather was actually stationed on the CVN-65 Enterprise, so neat to learn some more about it!!
Big-E (CVN-65) was not a Kitty Hawk-class. She was an Enterprise-class, the only ship of her class. You also missed the CV-6 Enterprise. The space shuttle Enterprise was considered to be refitted to actually fly into space after the Challenger disaster, but it was easier to build the Endeavor.
Lol I should’ve checked for this comment. I just commented pretty much the same thing.
@@blech71 But that's not quite completely accurate. Enterprise was supposed to be retrofitted to be space-worthy after Columbia. However the design changes desired post-Columbia's first couple launches were so extensive that they decided to take the structural testing hull for Enterprise/Columbia
(that was odd....I don't know what happened there_) Anyway. They took the structural test hull and refitted that instead, and this hull became Challenger.
There’s currently a HMS Enterprise which is a Royal Navy Sonographic Ship which continues the exploration tradition
Indeed there is and it was featured in this video.
I find your videos entertaining, witty, and fun. Keep up with the good videos.
To me 1701 C is the prettiest. Perfect blend of TOS and TNG!
It was to the design evolution step between the eras, so yeah.
@@nolanturner5607 I know that chronology lol. What I meant was more for the real world designers.
Tidbit: The Enterprise-J was designed by Doug Drexler, a personal acquaintance, who also won Emmy's as a Hollywood makeup artist. He was given about a week to design this ship and it was only recently that any states were released on it, such as it's size and weaponry. Given the limited time given, he deserves mad props for his brilliant work.
I still think it looks like a pizza cutter.
@@Lemurion287 it looks disgusting.
"brilliant' is a stretch... kinda like all he did was come up with a pizza cutter design and literally stretched it out from the sides
Data does not misunderstand humour, that was absolutely funny as fuck, and perfectly timed. The deadpan delivery made it even better
@Efftup Smith What grinds my gears is that after seven season of TNG they're still using the same gags from the very first episode in the movies like Data has never learned anything. Granted Lore had a better chip than Data but come on, use the gag once or twice and move on. Personally it never was funny.
Now if Data is doing it on purpose that he's an idiot then I agree with you and he's brilliant; but not if he's stuck in a constant perpetual idiot loop.
Fun fact: Space Shuttle Enterprise’s first test flight was flown by Fred Haise, who was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 13 (the one played by Bill Paxton in the movie).
These Enterprise ships were amazing!
Epesually that J!
I want to know more about it!
I want to know more about it, too. It took my breath away!
@@pattien6687 it was only featured once, it Star Trek Enterprise, if you want more information on it you need to go to beta sources, I think Star Trek Online gives you a lot of information regarding the bridges (you can even go onto the bridges yourself, the Odyssey has multiple levels just for the bridge)
The USS Enterprise aircraft carrier wasn't a Kittyhawk class aircraft carrier. It was actually called the Enterprise class, and was the only ship of its class to be built. It's common for the first vessel in a ship class to carry the class name. For example, the USS Nimitz was the first Nimitz class aircraft carrier. Same is seen with the USS Gerald R Ford, and so on.
But that's not how the US Navy _always_ does it. Other countries mostly always do it, but In the US Navy, unlike most other navies, the first ship in a class to be authorized by Congress is the designated class leader and gives the name to the class, regardless of the order in which the ships of that class are laid down, launched or commissioned. The New York-class battleship, the _USS New York,_ was actually the third of her class, but the first to actually get Congressional authorization.
Starfleet in _Star Trek_ actually follows the US Navy convention for class names. I looked it up, and it's true. I got it from Wikipedia, but I checked their sources to make sure.
So, the lead ship isn't always the first ship. If the first ship isn't authorized before the second, or some later ship, the first will not be the lead ship, even if launched first.
I liked the Japanese nickname for the CV 6 USS Enterprise, "The Gray Ghost". This was due to the Japanese navy declaring the Enterprise sunk on multiple occasions only for it to show up in battle yet again.
I thought it was the USS Yorktown... According to the Battle of Midway, they thought they sunk the Yorktown in Pearl Harbor, but it was fully operational when they saw it again durring the battle of Midway. They just couldn't kill it
No, it was the USS Enterprise. The had reported the Enterprise sunk on at least 4 or 5 different occasions. That said, the Japanese were surprised as hell to see the USS Yorktown at Midway as the had it reported on verge of sinking at the Battle of the Coral Sea which was only a few earlier. The Japanese knew that none of the carriers were at Pearl Harbor, it was a source of great frustration for them. That frustration led to in part the Battle of Midway.
It's been some time since I've read about Midway, if you believe in God, you can be damn sure he was helping one side that day
1 00:50 HMS Enterprise
2 01:50 Enterprise
3 02:40 USS Enterprise CVN 65
4 03:13 Space Shuttle Enterprise
5 04:00 Enterprise XCV 330
Among the "alternate versions" that were folded in, it is worth remarking that in addition to the Enterprise Ncc-1701 and the Enterprise Ncc-1701D refits that you mentioned, the Enterprise-B and C potentially had refits as well. This can be surmised by the fact that the "Enterprise lineage wall" in the Enterprise-D's conference room features models for the Enterprise B and C that are different than they appeared on-screen. The Enterprise B being an Excelsior with the original configuration and the C being an entirely different design. That is only if you want to get super nitpicky and speculate though as there is no canon evidence for these being anything other than continuity differences.
the coolest line from yesterday's Enterprise
Klingon commander: Federation ship enterprise, surrender and prepare to be boarded.
Picard: that'll be the day...
The coolest bit for me is when Picard partly whispers to Captain Barrett: "But if you go back it could be great deal more helpful, the war is going very badly for the Federation, far worse than is generally known.... "
The best line is "Let's make sure that history never forgets the name... Enterprise".
As I recall from I think a novel so it's not necessarily canonical, but the reason why the Kirk crew got the Enterprise A so fast was because they already had a ship under construction, and it was renamed hastily to the Enterprise.
I thought the Enterprise A had been the Yorktown, but was recommissioned after all hands perished when the ship was disabled by the whale probe.
Other older sources said variously it was the Levant, Atlantis or the Ti Ho previously...
Mr Scott's guide to the enterprise says it was the ti ho previously
@@NeverDoneEver I believe you are right, although there is a strong case for it having been a newly built advanced Constitution Class ship to be named the Ti Ho. In either case, the ship was nearing completion and was renamed Enterprise.
thank you so much for the video. awesome content!
2:07 - Don't listen to him, Data. We're all laughing.
2:45 USS EnterpriseCVN-65 wasn’t a kitty hawk class aircraft carrier, she was a development of that class but she was actually classified as Enterprise class, she was thus a unique ship. Also the kitty hawk class was not powered by nuclear reactors, in fact all kitty hawk class ships were designated CVs.
@Lollo4343 USS Enterprise CVN-65 was not a unique "Battleship" but a unique aircraft carrier.
Rob Highfill sorry, it was the corrector
I’ve noticed some people use warship and battleship interchangeably. By that logic, the Enterprise would count as a battleship
Artem Bentsionov They do so out of ignorance.
@@artembentsionov battleship is actually short for "Line of battle ships" just like how destroyers were originally "torpedo boat destroyers." They were specific to a class of ships. These terms were then shortened as time goes on.
You missed the CV-6 USS Enterprise which was a Yorktown Class aircraft carrier and the most decorated WWII US Navy ship. It is the aircraft carrier shown in the scene @ 3:26. Gene Rodenberry named the NCC 1701 Enterprise after this ship.
Actually, there is a bit of a error with that. The TOS ship was named after CVN-65 which had just launched around that time, but some have claimed that it was named after the WWII vessel. The irony is, if you look closely at the linage images on the series, you will note that NX01, 1701-D, and E all use CVN-65, but 1701 refit in the rec. area it uses CV-6. But I suppose since the show takes place 200 years from now, they really didn't care to distinguish between the two.
Well, to be fair, CVN-65 was named after the CV-6 anyways.
Only the most glorious ship to ever exist, USS Enterprise CV-6 was a true legend, throughout wwii she earned 20 battlestars, the most battle honours ever awarded to a single US ship, she sunk 71 enemy ships and destroyed 911 enemy aircraft. She was there from the beginning, barely missed Pearl Harbor, to Okinawa. Several times the Japanese thought she was sunk, earning her the nickname the Grey Ghost.

@@vermilionevergarden7725 Which makes it even more amazing that he missed it.
@@vermilionevergarden7725 Oh yes. If I remember correctly she was the last survivor of the original 3 carriers to start the war that survived Pearl Harbor...mainly because it wasn't there. She also survived major Kamikaze attacks and practically every battle of the sea war. The fact that the Navy scrapped this ship was a travesty.
Impressive research and fact checking! Thanks for the education. Best wishes, Brennan
Impressively detailed! Thanks for this.
The USS Enterprise CVN 65 is not a kitty hawk, is an Enterprise, the only ship of her class
Her class.
@@GreyhawkTheAngry my bad
There was an American Civil War reconnaissance balloon used by the Union army called "Enterprise," as well.
I was todays year old when i learned about civil war air balloons. Thank you
There has been a USS Enterprise in commission or under construction since the US Navy was founded.
The clue is in your own description. It was a balloon. Not a ship.
@@MrNigelBriggs thanks, I'm glad someone read that for me. Otherwise I would have thought he wrote the balloon was a ship.
The one, Cyrus Smith and party comandeered?
The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in Star Trek IV was "played by" the USS Saratoga, which wasn't even nuclear. In it's honor, the first starship to encounter the probe in the movie bore it's name.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. I learned some things, too.
The. USS Enterprise in the voyage home was actually the U.S.S. Ranger CV-61.
It is often used as a stand in just like in part of top gun
The USS Ranger CVN-61 is perhaps the most-represented ship in aircraft carrier-based mass-,edia (she appeared on television in The Six Million Dollar Man and Baa Baa Black Sheep, and in the films Top Gun, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (standing in for the carrier Enterprise), and Flight of the Intruder.), with the USS Nimitz being only slightly more recognizable due to CVN-68 "portraying" herself in the cult-classic The Final Countdown.
May the Ranger's 36 years of faithful service never be forgotten. Q'apla!
Tyger Potter what I just said
@@stitch626aloha ranger was CV-61 (it wasn't nuclear) numbers are in order as CVN-65 Enterprise was the first nuclear aircraft carrier. USS Ranger was CV-61.
@@FlankerB3 and along with CV-59 all the way to and including CV-64 are all Forrestal Class carriers.
Umm... No? You missed the USS Enterprise, CV-6, From WW2.
You CLEARLY see it in the rec area of the TMP Enterprise in the TMP movie. (You even had the same room in your own video!!)
RIP USS Hornet
@Max Smith That's the WWII Carrier Enterprise at 4:22. Put it in the video.
Somehow, when people in Star Trek talk or show the Enterprise's of old they always miss CV-6, even though it had a story that blows every other ship name Enterprise (Real or not) out of their drydocks!
Seems right,
Enterprise CV-6 appeared in TMP. I also read that it was planned to be in Archer‘s ready room next to CVN-65, but was taken out the set due to a matter of wall-space
IE the most important aircraft carrier in history.
Star Trek 4's Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise CVN 65 was only written as the Enterprise. It was actually filmed on the Forrestal Class, USS Ranger CV 61. They filmed the scene while at the Ranger's home port in San Diego CA, so they were not really at Alameda in San Francisco as per the film plot. The Ranger is the same ship that was used for filming Top Gun (1986), The Final Countdown (1980), and Flight of the Intruder (1991), among more. A friend of mine served on the Ranger during both Top Gun as and Star Trek filmings. He said that the Star Trek crew was quick to finish and did not interfere in ship operations. The Top Gun crew however was rude, wily, and constantly interfering in ship operations. He said it was hell having them on board. They had to stay at the home port in San Diego, instead of being at sea for most of the filming. They went out to sea only a few miles for the on-deck filming and aerial filming as they needed to be surrounded by water. The Ranger was going to be scuttled after being decommissioned, but they decided to keep it. Now it's a museum. It's not only been historically famous for many films, but it's been in several important battles and operations.
Glad you guys made the correction/distinction that CVN-65 Big-E was a class all u to her own.
When you highlight, that the D was captained by the same guy from the school with the gifted kids, you should also remember that the E was captained by Ahab to hunt a white whale...
He did finally learn to give up.
And that Enterprise F was captained by Shon.
No "Big E" :/ oh well. The "Big E" was what sailors called the CV-6 "flatop" in WW2, it has an impressive battle record :)
The USS Enterprise CVN-65 was part of the Enterprise class of carriers. There is also the first USS Enterprise CV-6 which is one of the most decorated ships of World War II
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), the principal setting of the original Star Trek television series 2265. No A, B, C, D, E, F, J or JJ.
Like Scotty on the Enterprise D...
No bloddy A, B, C, or D.
The name USS Enterprise goes back to 1775 as the ship Col Benedict Arnold served on during the Revolutionary War. It was the first of 9 ships to bear the name, though the famous brig the Enterprise is based on is the 3rd one.
And the most recent one is a Gerald Ford class CVN currently under construction and set to enter service in 2028.
Where the hell did you get that load of bullshit? GENERAL Benedict Arnold never served on a ship, partially because we had no navy at that point, which is why the French Navy had help us bottle up the Brits at Yorktown.
@Amber Hoke No not history. Plus Benedict Arnold was a GENERAL, not a colonel. His most famous victory was not in any way naval, it was Fort Ticonderoga, was claimed by the Green Mountain boys. He was infuriated by that. He never set foot on a naval vessel...BECAUSE WE HAD NO NAVY!
From what I can find, Benedict Arnold did apparently command the first Enterprise, which he captured from the Brits at St. Johns in Quebec. The ship was originally called George, but was renamed Enterprise by Arnold. She was used by the Continental Army from 1775 to 1777. The Enterprise was run aground and burnt to prevent capture during the evacuation of Ticonderoga. I don't believe that Arnold personally commanded her, but he did command the American fleet that she belonged to.
The CVN-65 is an Enterprise-class carrier. It did have much of the Kitty Hawk-class interior and hull but the distinctive island design and propulsion system made her a different class all together.
USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was the 1st and ONLY ship of her class. There were supposed to be 5 ships of that class, but Enterprise turned out to be way too expensive to build, thus the only ship of that class.
@@jamesbednar8625 actually the mast was too big for safety concerns
@@jmwloup5110 I don't know about that but James Bednar is correct. Part of the expense of the Enterprise was the fact that she had 5 reactors. Not sure how many are on a Nimitz-class but it is a reduced number and gives the same reliability and performance.
Mad Rabbit As a CVN65 sailor I do know about that no enterprise had 5 reactors but cvn65 did have a painting on the aircraft doors separating hanger bay 1 from 2 depicting all warships named enterprise including the famous starship until the admiral ordered it to be white washed claiming that fantasy was unprofesional
@@jmwloup5110 I stand corrected, she had 8! The admiral was an asshole.
Great video! I must say that the Star Trek Online design is my favorite.
That was cool, and thank you. I have watched many star trek videos and you are the only one that mentions Robert April as the first captain of NCC-1701.
Glad you mentioned Shatners book 'The Return' I read this years ago along with 2 sequels also penned by Shatner and have to say he is a terrific writer! The Return is especially good!
@lazycalm41 Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens were the cowriters of those books.
Please make a video on alternate realities on Star Trek. I like the style of the Enterprise D from 'all good things' even as its comic book counterpart from 'Star Trek Mirror Broken'
Well said. Pretty much nailed it on the spot with all the ships.
I hadn't seen the enterprise f before, to quote Scotty from the reboot, " I'd like to get my hands around those ample nacelles"...enjoyed that video, thankyou
Fun fact about CVN-65 in The Voyage Home: it was actually the USS Ranger standing in.
Which is often the case like in part of top gun
I believe I saw the Ranger being used during a landing sequence in a WW II movie, the ship had an angled flight deck and there were some A-4's parked forward. The aircraft making the landing was supposed to be a Dauntless. There were no straight deck carriers (CVA) in use when the movie was made, they could not get the footage in the same format for the landing from a WW II CV.
The space shuttle Enterprise was renamed due to a petition by Trekkies, so appearing in Star Trek is … *_Trekception_*
It's not really recursive like the misconstrued definition of inception has become. If the shuttle was named from the show, and the ships were named from the shuttles, then is the show canon within the show? Likely not. It can all easily be explained away though, since Star Trek is a fictional universe that already diverged from ours (anybody remember the Eugenics War of 1996?). The shuttle likely got its name from somewhere else in the Star Trek universe.
Yep - I remember that!!!! Star Trek fans inundated NASA with letters begging them to name the 1st Space Shuttle "Enterprise". I was roughly 12-13 years old during that time. IF I remember correctly, think NASA asked the public what should the shuttle be called.
NASA also made a statement asking the fans if they really wanted to do this, because if they did NASA knew it would likely never actually go to space. The prototype tested while not planned for full space flight would have been convertible to space flight, however as long ad the US Navy had a commissioned ship performing missions with the name Enterprise NASA would not be able to do so. People insisted and as a result the Space Shuttle Enterprise never flew any actual missions for NASA other than as a lander testbed.
Fun fact, a similar recursive effect can be applied to ward drive itself. Miguel Alcubierre, a Mexican theoretical physicist, came up with the most prevalent theory of functional warp drive we have to date, and said at one point that it was inspired by the warp drive of Star Trek: TOS*. Subsequently, Star Trek: TNG later adopted his method as the canonical way the warp drives functioned.
*It may have been TNG he was inspired by and the canon adoption happened later. But I’m pretty sure it was TOS that Alcubierre was inspired by.
Star Trek is very proud to have inspired the Space Shuttle Enterprise, and includes it at every opportunity to show lineage.
Excellent video!
The Enterprise J is also on the Star Trek Online games Future Timelines mission arc. You join it in a space battle and get to see some really good angles of the craft.
My Dad served on
U.S.S Enterprise CVNA 65
The “A” is for ATTACK.
And was used in Vietnam and then after the war sometime later they took away the “A”
And was just CVN 65
Great video also I love star trek
@4:02..interesting...one of the early human vessels used the 'ring' design like the Vulcan Suurok class...2140s for the XCV vs 2130s for the Suurok class...its cool to see the early influence of the Vulcans in early design...and how human ship design went its own direction successfully too.
My favorite Enterprise is actually two of them. My first favorite is the Enterprise 1701 refit, and the 1701-A. I don't know why, but I really like the sleeker design and how it looks while travelling through space, plus I love the redesign of the torpedo launchers. In the original series, the torpedoes came out of what was called a "torpedo pod) underneath the saucer section, which to me looked weird because you couldn't see the tube opening. In the redesign, you could actually see the area where the torpedoes came out of and where the weapon launcher was located, right on the neck of the ship, just above the deflector dish. My second favorite Enterprise is the Enterprise 1701-E. It looks more like a warship than the 1701-D looked like, and it was a sleeker design. And I really liked how they redesigned the warp nacelles, much more streamlined and not bulky looking like the Enterprise-D had.
The Enterprise D in _Yesterday's Enterprise_ while a Galaxy class was configured completely differently, as a battleship and troop carrier… no arboretum, and the dolphin tanks were used for interrogations.
But it does raise the questions, why was the Enterprise D [prime timeline] set up like that? And were there other options?
A what if… What if with the design, being very customizable and modular, the Enterprise D was specifically set up as a *Diplomatic Explorer* in the uncontested regions and that's why it had the _full cruise ship recreation_ and _university campus packages_ installed.
And different captains could get different options fitted. …
*New Galaxy Captain:* Ok, I'll get the full science pack as well, along with extra sensors, that'll stop them fighting over access, a _tachyon detection grid_ as well, I want that running full time in addition to the regular sensors. Skip the civilian stuff beyond standard facilities for passenger transport and dual use assembly areas, just stick in a couple of extra Holodecks to take up the slack if necessary.
Any crew reproducing can be handled on a case by case basis depending on their species maturation cycle. Ship brats grow up fast anyway and can be assigned monitoring AI software to keep them out of the way and the Holodecks can take care of teaching and learning about the consequences of actions ect.
Actually double that to 32 Holodecks total, they can be used by the science teams for bespoke labs and simulations if necessary and I intend for the rest to be used for crew training to keep everyone in top form. They're great for boarding action and intruder alert rehearsals as well, I want everyone to have full combat training and basic medical. Oh, and the database, I want AI holograms of experts and advisors in every imaginable skill area, and I definitely want it to run on a separate isolated system to the main computer, with its own power supply that has a physical manual override - I've heard some horror stories.
Replicators - as well as the standard personal ones I want a industrial replicator next to each shuttle bay, with cargo holds adjacent, a extra large one, colony rated, by the main bay, and cargo transporters next to each, can you combine them into one unit as they both use matter energy converters? No,… really should look into that, a combo replicator/transporter/holodeck for small science vessels would be useful.
Anyway the walls should be pressure doors to allow movement of items, just copy the hanger door design for safety. And I want a independent back up power supply for the largest replicator if we have to do major repairs in field.
One near main engineering, one near main medical, same back ups. Also stick a couple of holodecks and a cargo bay near main medical, just in case of mass casualties.
As for the bridge, no it's going to be located in the interior of the saucer section, buried in the middle.…We don't use windows anymore, so why?
And install holodisplays on all surfaces, walls, floor, ceiling, just copy the astrometrics displays so we get full 720° coverage of the exterior… if you suffer from vertigo you shouldn't be on a spaceship anyway. Stick astrometrics next to it anyway, we'll need access a lot of the time.
And I want the _Away_ teams ready room next to the bridge with access on the other side and large holoviewers so they can be kept apprised of the situation…seriously? What sort of *idiot **_uses bridge crew on away missions?_* …yes, besides the first officer…Who controls the ship? The second stringers? The next shift who are tired? And swapping over in an emergency is just asking for trouble, with over a thousand crew I'm sure I'll have more than _ten competent crew members_ that have to do everything.
In fact, stick a couple of extra seats on the bridge for some Away team members, they can act as backup bridge security in the meantime and give input in their specialty if requested.
And have a full security station nearby as well, the main bridge is often a target in boarding actions. Put in another main security station next to engineering, both should be set up for defensive actions for the same reason…you've never had Cardassian boarders try to disable your ship, have you?
Set up the battle bridge with exactly the same physical layout as the main bridge, can't be told apart by viewers…could be useful for deception, and at least crew familiarity. Another security station next to it, don't want to leave a vulnerability.
Now as for the warp core, in addition to _2 spares in storage,_ and I want the full replicator pattern for the main replicator, just in case…well, install a holodeck next to the replicator, it can make bespoke factories to construct the non replicatorable components and we just assemble from the ground up.
I also want one warp core and drive installed and running in the saucer section, so it can move at full warp if necessary…without the _dolphin tanks and the arboretum_ there'll be enough space, and besides the extra power could be useful. But don't skimp on the battery back ups, I want mini generators for life support in each section as well, and emergency suit lockers in every room, with extra air bottles to run as a back up, mini optimized air replicators or air processors as well…fine a small arboretum, just a greenhouse next to life sciences, but purely for research and a emergency air processor, not recreation… it's *weird how it becomes unbreathable* as soon as _life support goes offline._ I want some slack in the system.
The old bridge location at the top of the saucer…no, not an observation lounge, I want the biggest phaser you can mount with full 360° coverage…something meant for planetary defense, that's another reason I wanted the extra warp power nearby, besides the colony replicator and saucer escape. By the way, any chance you could stick a second deflector dish nearby, a bit in front, the saucer would need it for independent warp travel and having vital system backups is part of my design paradigm, oh, spare computer cores as well, kept offline.
Yes, and stick extra phaser strips, here, here, here, here, here here, and here.
Now as for photons, extra launchers, how much extra space do we have with everything included so far? …That much? Well in that cases 3000 torpedoes … yes, you heard me right, 3000… you're right, make that 8 extra launchers above the standard 2…no 7 in front, 3 behind, that'll allow a 35 torpedo volley in front as a opening shot.… damn, can you put 2 impulse engines facing forwards?
That way we can point the heavy guns while keeping … sorry, just been spending some time in full Newtonian simulations, but still it's useful to avoid ramming attempts at sub light.
…I know we can replicate torpedoes, but not in the middle of a confrontation.
And before I forget, that second warp core, I want heavy power conduits leading to the secondary deflector array…so we can feed *warp power* to it without overloading the main drive of course.
Speaking of the power conduits, ever heard of circuit breakers?…well, just don't run them behind control interfaces, keep them behind armoured shrouds and run the controls through isolinear cabling. *And stop using rocks as insulation!*
I want seat belts at all vital bridge stations… no inertia dampers aren't perfect, they only compensate for the ship's drive, not pot shots taken at you.…and that's why I want security personnel permanently stationed on the bridge, if the weapons officer is in hand to hand combat they can't shoot the enemy ships.
And stick a pattern disperser on the bridge with a _manual on/off_ switch, I lost my left arm and both eyes to a Cardassian phaser when our shields dropped once … damn right, I want a second shield emitter grid, that was a great suggestion, and some ablative armour, especially on the nacelles and neck.
Y'know it was a mistake to sue for _peace with the Cardassians,_ we had the upper hand and could have steamrolled them in space if we brought the Klingons into it with treaty obligations. They'd have loved a *good war by our side,* I know what they _thought._ Mark my words, someday we'll have to fight Cardassia again, and they may get allies, imagine if they teamed up with the Romulans. Now you know why I want a battle wagon - and we don't know who else is out there, but they're possibly not friendly.
Yeh, _both artificial,_ got a exographic sensor installed in the left eye, the bulky fake one with the surrounding plating, and a tricorder and phaser installed in the left arm, linked to my optic nerves.…really? A Vulcan officer on the USS Strata suggested it? Micro transporter and projectile weapon? I'll look into it thanks…hang on, he's just been resigned to the Grissom according to Starfleet … I've also got a PADD linked into my cybernetics.
The right eye is just a standard cybernetic, I'm actually _full Betazoid_ but you can't tell without natural eyes. Don't worry, I'm not reading your mind, learnt some Vulcan focusing techniques to keep me polite …that's only the _females,_ in our species the romantic roles are the reverse of humans.… yes, I've imagined what a human male would do with my abilities. I've met commander Riker as well…you pushed the image into my mind, Vulcan training notwithstanding… and you're right, that's why I got training in shutting out other minds, that man's thoughts are a sewer, only empaths can tolerate him for long.
[Sigh]…okay, I'll check what your partners feelings are about his ex, but only as a favour for the shield grid suggestion, I don't make a habit of it and I don't want you distracted from your work… _humans!_
How long will the ship installation take with the customization?…
Don't worry, I'll get clearance from the Admiral.
[Smirks to himself, humans and their sexual insecurities, no wonder telepaths make them nervous].
Well... since you are taking about the Prime universe, which is legally required to be a certain percentage different than Canon, and a timeline where NCC-1701-C wasn't sacrificed to start the treaty with the Klingons... I suppose there is a chance that your rant is actually true. After all, Trek made under the new alternative license is becoming just a Star Wars knockoff :'(
I honestly stopped reading 5 minutes ago.
LOL. You cracked me up with the, "I want the biggest phaser you can mount with full 360° coverage"
The image of a really big gun in place of once was a bridge section really make me laugh.
You really need to get out more.
@@Toolpusher Aye, agree on ya, laddie.
**go to holodeck**
All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by
..... and in this episode a boat load of red shirts so I don't die.
I was a Star Wars kid for about 14 years (I’m 14) but my dad showed me Star Trek The Next Generation about 2 months ago, and I instantly fell in love, I haven’t gone back since.
Wow, so apparently Kirk was such a legend he died 3 times. Once wasn't enough for him!
@John Titor Unfortunately for Shatner, he's only going to have once chance at it like everyone else, no more endless retakes for this guy.
Some people gotta do certain things 3 times that a normal person would do once.When Mike Tyson became the youngest ever heavyweight champ the final punch of the fight is a case in point.Mike Tyson knocked Trevor Berbick down 3 times with 1 punch.
And then he actually DIDN'T die, because he was found by some liberated drones who nursed him back to health and stopped the degradation process that would have eventually killed him a fourth time.
I'm convinced that season 4 of Discovery will involve them finding Kirk on a remote backwater planet.
actually before the CVN 65 Enterprise there was the ww2 CV 6 Enterprise or as they called her "Lucky E"
The CV-6 was the ship in the drawings @ 3:26
Grey Ghost ftw!
Clearly this guy dropped the ball on the single most important Enterprise which Gene Roddenberry served on during WW II. That's why he named the NCC 1701 Enterprise FFS!
Also, he ignores the third USS Enterprise, CVN-80 to start construction next year and scheduled to me commissioned in 2025 as the third ship in the Gerald Ford class.
@@jeffhess4650 not so. He clearly stated they must have been seen on screen. Cv80 having not been built yet has never been seen on screen. Cv6 and cv65 haven't seen on screen and therefore both should have been counted in this video.
CVN 65 was the ONLY ship in Enterprise class of nuclear aircraft carriers. Her class was in-between the Kitty Hawk class and the Nimitz class aircraft carriers. She was also the only ship in her class.
Until 2027 when the USS Enterprise CVN-80 is scheduled for entering service
There are also CV-6 USS Enterprise, a world war II era aircraft carrier and CVN-80 USS Enterprise from the Ford class, which still being build, but the naming ceremony were done in 2012
Thank you very much. Now I'm going to have to check out this Star Trek thing. Seems interesting.
I'm pretty sure that all the Enterprises are displayed at Starbase 39 Sierra in Star Trek Online
Replicas?
@@chrissonofpear1384 They'd have to be, since many of them were actually destroyed.
@@filthycasual8187 True - although as the game lets you use replica, 200 year old ships pretty often in gameplay...
Side note like real ship that portrayed HMS Interceptor, The aircraft Carrier Enterprise in StatvTrek 4, was the not real Enterprise. In reality The USS Ranger and crew was used to portray Entetprise
Yep, the navy wouldn’t let the crew film an actual nuclear carrier, and the Ranger hadn’t been converted yet
@@artembentsionov Also the real carrier Enterprise was out on assigment at the time
CVN65 was filmed in top gun but later scenes were actually USS Ranger when CVN65 wasnt available
So not really
The Ranger was never converted.
CVN-65 ended her last deployment in 2012, but remained in service until her decommissioning in 2017.
missed Enterprise CV-6 and CVN-80 Enterprise, under construction (Gerald Ford-class carrier)
When they were filming STIV, Enterprise was in the Persian Gulf. They were actually filming aboard the USS Ranger.
The "J" looks fragile...like a shuttle crashing into would rip it in two. Long live the dreadnaught!
It's massive, so it is unlikely to be fragile
I'm partial to the Enterprise B. There's just something about those Excelsior class ships that are just so pleasing to my eye.
awesome set of Enterprises.. love to see more future Enterprises from 1701-J.. who knows if there will be more.. lets hope so
