]] ]] ]] ]] ]] ]] ]] ]] In the Star Trek fictional universe, the USS ''Enterprise'' is the name given to a series of Starship s. Several of these vessels are focal points in the fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry . The USS ''Enterprise'' was once referred to as the "United Space Ship ''Enterprise''", but ever since has always been "United Star Ship". Since Starfleet is unrelated to the United States Armed Forces , any similarity between this phrase and the American warship prefix "United States Ship" is purportedly coincidental. However, the prefix is intended to play off of the affinity that many have for the USS ''Enterprise'' series of Naval vessels. In honor of Star Trek, as well as the real vessels, an initial (flight-test) was out to sea during filming. It is questionable whether the United States Navy would have allowed the filming crew aboard ''Enterprise'' had she been available; at the time, the internal arrangements of the U.S. Navy's nuclear carrier engineering plants were Classified . Not only the name, but also the associated hull number (" NCC -1701") has been bestowed upon different fictional ships at different times. LIST OF STARSHIPS BEARING THE NAME The starships ''Enterprise'' that have been seen in the various Star Trek series and movies to date are as follows:
The existence of an ''Enterprise''-J implies the existence of an ''Enterprise''-F, -G, -H, and -I at some point in history, however as yet no Canonical information has been provided regarding these vessels. Since the future in which the ''Enterprise''-J is depicted in "Azati Prime" is undone by the ending of the Xindi threat and the collapse of the Temporal Cold War , it remains to be seen if the vessel will ever actually exist in any future canon. An additional ''. This ship is the Enterprise (XCV-330) . It was later shown on a wall in 2143 San Francisco in the ''Enterprise'' episode " First Flight ", meaning that its top speed was apparently less than warp 2. The ring-shaped design suggests application of Vulcan propulsion technology, and there is some speculation that it was an early transport ship used in colonization efforts. The design was based on Matt Jefferies ' early designs for the NCC-1701. ''Enterprises''' found only in novels: 's '' Imzadi '' and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens ' '' Millennium '' LIST OF COMMANDING OFFICERS The lists below are of captains officially recognized in the Star Trek Canon , with additional non-canon captains of note listed afterwards. NX-01
Text on a computer screen visible in the episode "In a Mirror, Darkly" gives 2160 as the year Archer's command of ''Enterprise'' ended, but this is contradicted by the finale episode " These Are The Voyages... " which takes place at the founding of the Federation, previously established as occurring in 2161. The dates given in the Mirror Universe however are not concrete as they take place within the Mirror Universe, and events within the Mirror Universe do not always precisely coincide with events within the normal timeline. NCC-1701
The ''" in the original series, leaving time for another captain to serve prior to Pike. Various reference works (like '''') and the animated series episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" identify Robert April as the first captain of the ''Enterprise'' (at Roddenberry's suggestion); however, due to these not being considered canon by Paramount (at most only semi-canon), this has yet to be made official. No Star Trek episode provides the name of the first captain of the NCC-1701. NCC-1701-A
Though Kirk was Commanding Officer of the ''Enterprise''-A through the 2280s into the 2290s, Science Officer Spock and Chief Engineer Scott were also of the rank of captain, endowing the ship with an unusual command structure. However, Spock was still considered First Officer and assumed temporary command as usual in the event Kirk was off-ship, as in ''Star Trek VI''. NCC-1701-B
Several non-canon sources have also named other captains of the ''Enterprise''-B and are, thus, unofficial. According to several novels, Harriman was succeeded by Demora Sulu as captain. A poster of the NCC-1701-D also listed one Tomas Johnson Jr. as captain, but no information is offered as to when he might have commanded the vessel. Non-canon sources also suggest that Harriman's command ended shortly after the Tomed Incident of 2311; Sulu assumed command of the ''Enterprise''-B afterward. NCC-1701-C

As of 2006, no canonical television series or film has made reference to the ''Enterprise-F'', ''-G'', ''-H'' or ''-I'', although the introduction of the ''Enterprise- J'' would imply that these vessels may exist in the centuries following the events of ''''. SEE ALSO
