In Gene Roddenberry's original Star Trek pitch, the starship is described as a "United Space Ship."

Also, in the original pilot "The Cage," the enterprise is refered to as the "United Space Ship Enterprise." Captain Kirk also refers to the ship as such in the episode "Elaan of Troyius," as does Dr. McCoy in the episode "Space Seed." Both are episodes of Star Trek (TOS).

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.
