***** INTRODUCTION *****
This is an updated and expanded history of ships named "Enterprise", and replaces the previous edition (uploaded in December 1988) which is still available in this data library. During the year which has elapsed, I've been able to obtain more detail on the U.S. Navy "Enterprises", track down the history of all British Royal Navy ships called "Enterprise", and obtain limited information on French Navy "Enterprises" and a Confederate "Enterprise.
Between 1705 and 1979, there were 12 'HMS Enterprises", while between 1775 and 1999, there were 8 "USS Enterprises". There have also been 8 NASA and Starfleet "Enterprises", 8 French "Enterprises", 1 Confederate "Enterprise", and countless privately-owned "Enterprises". As I researched the history of the name, I quickly realized that each of these ships had a fascinating history, and that the missions and patrols carried out by each ship are a reflection of the state of international relations and maritime technology at that point in time. I hope you will also find this interesting reading.

To quote Spock;
"Fascinating is a word I would use to describe the unexpected. This, I would describe as 'interesting'."

I'll have to show my husband this article. He served on the USS Enterprise in the 60's. Worked on the flight deck. Senator John McCain's squadron was on the Enterprise for a short time. His picture is in one of my husband's cruise books. LT McCain was in Attack Squadron Sixty-Five (VA-65). They came on the Enterprise during a Med cruise.

I was with two college buddies when the "original" Star Trek Enterprise was destroyed in
one of the Star Trek films.
We were catatonic for a few minutes when the old faithful was lost.

I remember that vividly. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock".
When The Great Lady entered the atmosphere for her final plunge, there was open weeping in the theater.
But not as much as there was for "Star Trek II", at Spock's funeral...

Yeah, I'm impressed with a lot of the work on there. My wife hates Star Trek, but she's into Star Wars & I found her an awesome Millenium Falcon background for her computer.
