[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by thelastguardian: [qb] 'NCC' was chosen to precede '1701' because 'N' is the designated fuselage letter for civilian aircraft registered in the United States (as in N6741U, for example), 'C' was chosen by Matt Jeffries for a personal reason I cannot recall, and the final 'C' was added for rhythmic balance. Shane [/qb][/QUOTE]In the Star Trek Sketch Book Jefferies says that 1701 were chosen for clarity. NC was the US designation on his own plane and that he added an extra C to make it different from planes. It just happened that the Soviet designation was CCC - which was a nice coincidence.
