Doesn’t that mess up the Star Trek universe’s chronology of Enterprises?

It does mess it up.
Still, it’s always good to have a U.S.S. Enterprise patrolling the seas.

GOOD - it’s about time — I’m glad to see that name back on the Navy’s registry!

Clinton split the timelines in the 90s and reality went out the window. We ended up in the Bizzaro one. But fear not. In the real reality the Enterprise is still patrolling the seas as God intended ;)

Same with Wasp or Hornet. I always liked those names.

They will do a re-edit like they did in Star Wars - and knock out the one guy that played Anakin (Sebastian Shaw) with the newer Anakin (Hayden Christensen)...

about time they quit naming the aircraft carriers for presidents, especially live ones like the peanut picker. Saratoga & Lexington ought to be next on the list. then Yorktown, Hornet, Ranger, and Langley

Its good to break the trend of naming capital ships after people.
Never liked the practice - something un-American about it.

We need some new names for these ships. We’re running out of presidents.
Maybe we need to go with a sports theme or sumthin’.. The ‘Air Jordan’ aircraft carrier,, the Yankees Stealth Clippers

If we ever can travel between stars I wonder if the first vessel will be called Enterprise. Whoever figures it out will definitely be a nerd.
To: re_tail20
This makes me very happy. Good news.

Doesnt that mess up the Star Trek universes chronology of Enterprises?If we didn't confound the timelines like this, the alternate universe with the bearded Spock couldn't exist.
