I always thought that that was urban myth.
And not to nitpick the nixpicker, but don't the shuttles not have a definitive article in front of them when address by name? I thought that was the reasoning behind the NX-01 being called "Enterprise" and not "the Enterprise".

I was just looking at picture and see that our dear Captain in missing? Was he just to good to there? And also did you all know that in the late 70's and 80 that Nichelle Nichols was employed by NASA and was in charge of astronaut recruits and hopefuls. Most of the recruits that she launched were minority candidates of different races and/or ethnicities, as well as gender, like Guion Bluford (the first African American male astronaut), Sally Ride (the first female astronaut), Judith Resnick (one of the original female astronauts recruited by NASA, who perished during the launch of the Challenger on January 28, 1986), and Ronald McNair (another victim of the Challenger disaster). She lived in Houston, Texas during her years as a Johnson Space Center employee(IMDB)

I remember a mention in Takei's autobiography about Shatner not showing up at the NASA ceremony - or Roddenberry's funeral either, for that matter.

The first USS Constellation was the first warship commissioned into the US Navy, in 1797. I would assume that there wasn't a previous British ship with the same name, because the name refers to the "constellation" of stars on the US flag.

I think we might be talking differently here. The Alfred, though not in commission, was definately in service with the Continental Navy (the very first American navy, though not authorized by a constitution). So we have the Alfred being the very first American naval ship.
