Yeah, this is a calender for the 2002 year with a different starship scenic shot for each month. As for a capture, I haven't bought the calendar yet, so I can't check it out.
Back to the name, I'm not so sure that the last four letters are Hope. The only letter that's really clear in the close-up is the "P." The others letters are too blurry to really tell, but I guess "hope" is as good a guess as any.
I did a search of "hope" and (assuming it's named for a geographic feature), there's a Mount Hope in Alaska, cities named Hope in Alaska, Arkansas, and North Carolina, a port named Hope in North Carolina. There's also a hospital in Chicago called Hope.

The 2002 SOTL calender isn't anything special. Most of the shots are 'stylized' ones, where the ships are VERY blurred, or the pic is grainy... There are only maybe 3 good pics in the entire thing. And the centerfold of the E-E and GCS Challenger (which also says ENTERPRISE is spots) is a great picture, but is B&W! *pissed*

We're not talking about SoTL. We're talking about another calender from FI. And since we're hoping to get Mojo to help us out, maybe you shouldn't be so eager to overtly bash his new product.
Just a suggestion.
But, he DID start athread a while back, asking folks their opinions on the 2002 SoTL. Here it is:

It would not make me at all sad if a starships registry preceded its class ship. I would just think that it was contracted (funded (with supplies, not money because there is none) and assigned a number and name) but wasnt built until its class was decided by the fact that a class came out with a later number
Or maybe its a saucer from a Nebula refit into a Galaxy class with a snazzy new secondary hull
