The particular combination of letters and numbers for the ship's registry, NCC-1701, was chosen because it would be easily readable at a glance by television viewers. "NCC" (unofficially known as ' Naval Construction Contract ' was chosen by analogy to modern civil aircraft identification codes. In a popular video game by Interplay, Starfleet Command, NCC is known as 'New Command Cruiser'. == == == == == == == == Oh lord....I'm answering a Trek question....maybe I should do this under an assumed ID?

The famous numbers of all Enterprises was NCC 1701...they had a letter given on the later ones to designate it as a newer version.

It should be noted not all Starships had (have?) call numbers assigned. Why is a matter of some dispute as is the meaning of NCC or why call numbers would be reused on different vessels...kinda defeats the purpose.

Link for more than you ever dreamed anyone could care about the topic.

Is the USS Enterprise a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?

She is literally one-of-a-kind. In 1958, they planned to make six nuclear-powered carriers and call them the Enterprise class carriers, but they cost too much so they only made the one named USS Enterprise. Nimitz class carriers were built later. Although the Nimitz class carriers are loosely based on the USS Enterprise, the USS Enterprise is not in the Nimitz class and is quite different. So, no. The USS Enterprise is not a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier.
