And the lowest known registry still remains as NCC-173 for USS Essex unless one wants to count NCC-160 for USS Carolina which may or may not exist.

That depends on which reality you choose to believe.

Count backwards from 173 and see which is 'lowest'.
Also, is ENT canon with all the continuity errors?

Equally technically, NX-01 is not part of the NCC system. It's the first ship of the NX class. NC-27 on Eaves's Sarajevo sketch (probably not canon ) also comes close, but is still another system.

So the NX-2000 didn't count till it was NCC-2000. Now I know.

That's what I meant when I said a matter of perspective as we don't know if the NX class actually became the basis for the NX/NCC reg system. Or if when Starfleet became a Federation organisation that they were all assigned NCC numbers unrelated to the NX numbers and the use of an NX prefix in later prototypes was just a way to honour the "original" starfleet starship.

I'd think both NXs are for the same thing - "experimental prototype." Isn't there something similar for airplane registries - experimental aircraft that have that X instead of a proper number?

What about the Half Saucer and Warp Delta? Even though they had no visible registries, I refuse to believe that they lacked any. Also what all this about Enterprise and continuity? Were the other four series so much more better at maintaining it?
