Nope, not canon. What me question it all day long
Let us see...there have been at least a dozen sailing ships named Enterprise (from multiple nations) A small motor launch in US service during the Great War. Two, and soon, probably three aircraft carriers with the name. At least two survey vessel in British service, as well as cruiser from between the world wars. At least one ironclad. A space shuttle. A clipper ship as well as a few steamboats. As well as a space plane.
There were a LOT of ships named Enterprise in the last 300 years, there are bound to be a lot more in the next 300 years. I keep thinking there should be as ship named Enterprise between the NX-01 and the NCC-1701, just because of how long that is to not have a ship with that name. It doesn't even have to be a Starfleet ships, but one that exists serving someone in some capacity.
It seems clear that, based on the image, the space shuttle Enterprise saw more service than just atmospheric test flights in the Star Trek Universe.
Five panels is nowhere near enough.
Considering that the first nuclear carrier, USS Enterprise, was not on the wall either, and only one of the sailing ships, that might not even be the most famous of the sailing ships either, there is plenty of reason to have the NX-01 missing. Especially if CVN-65 isn't on the wall, but a prototype space shuttle is.
The art department loved sneaking in bits of obscure continuity. I doubt the guys who wrote or directed the episodes really cared what the space art on the wall was, or that the ECS Horizon had "the book" on a background bookshelf, or that one or two Starfleet insignia mentioned UESPA.^ If the ringship was a failure, then why would it have had all those shout-outs in ENT?
If you are referring to the other ocean going vessels names Enterprise, how do we know they even existed in the Star Trek Universe? Maybe in the Star Trek Universe there were only one sailing ship and one nuclear carrier named Enterprise.
Vacuum cleaners? Thanks for the amusing insult. Did it make you happy?
No worries -- my apologies, as I hadn't had my coffee yet and your wording somehow gave me the impression that you were implying I was a custodial cleaning person who vacuums apartment buildings....What?
Sincere apologies if this felt like an insult to you. I really, really didn't intend it to be one. I must insert more emoticons in the future...
