True, but NCC-1701A was the new Enterprise after the original was destroyed in Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock.

since its on topic, Whats the latest Star Trek like?? I stopped watching the series when the new season started with that broad as the captain. I did not give it a single chance. But I have noticed snips of the new series and wondered about giving it a chance.(only cringing in thinking of what else they may have done to make it even more PC)

“Why is an Air Force spy plane flying over northern California?”

It is always prudent to surveil foreign enemy countries.

To enforce neighborhood recycling laws.

I think I may be the only one here who thinks this is the actual truth.

If a boy can identify as a girl, why can't an U-2 spy plane identify as the Enterprise?? 😋

That's odd, I thought the Starship Enterprise was pretending to the Starship Enterprise...

Actually, the original Enterprise’s registry was CV-6.. .. The most decorated ship in World War II...it earn battle star right to that name

Im a ST Original series fan

But the real USS Enterprise will always be CV-6

Oddly all the star trek ships are named after CV6

Gene Roddenberry when it was developing the star trek series chosen to name the star ship USS Enterprise after the US nuclear Carrier CVE65 USS Enterprise

And CVE65 USS Enterprise was named in honor of World War 2 Aircraft carrier CV-6 Enterprise

Oddly Enterprise rent a cars gets its name also from CV6 As the company’s foundered served aboard that ship in WW2

And argument can be made CV6 air crews were the 1st Americans killed at Pearl Harbor

The ship was was coming into port that morning and launched its planes fly in but the planes got jumped by the Japanese flying in to attack Pearl Harbor

Touche. I should have specified that the original STARSHIP Enterprise’s registry was NCC-1701.

Actually, the original USS Enterprise was a Continental Navy sloop-of-war that served in Lake Champlain during the American Revolutionary War. She didn’t have a registry ...

The episode with the TAC F-104 Starfighter?

(My father was a design engineer on that plane.)

The NCC-1701A was the duplicate of the refurbished model with the Klingon nacelles.

I've not bothered to try it because the cast kneeled in solidarity with the NFL a-holes.
