[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] The very first explanation (from Jefferies TOS pre-production sketches) of NCC-1701 is as follows (This is all succeeded by a big IIRC): NCC stands for nothing in particular: NC comes from the aircraft licensing code of the US, and the extra C was added 'for fun' (and the similariyties to the Soviet aircraft number CC) The 1701 also originated from Jefferies plane, but he also gave a possible explanation: "17" stands for the 17th class of cruisers, with "01" meaning the first ship of that clas. I assume prototypes are numbered "00", except in the case of the NX-01, because NX-00 is a pretty stupid registry number. While this theory makes little sense in the later 23rd and 24th centuries, it could have been something dating back to the Earth Starfleet. What would other Earth ships that we might see in ENT be numbered, I wonder. I hope we'll never see the NCC prefix.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
