And Enterprise is just a name.I tried, it didn't take.It's just a number.
Yes, but Kirk always said "Kirk of the Enterprise" or some such. Not "Kirk of the NCC-1701".
After the Ent-E?

FYI, no captain has identified their ship soley by its hull registry.

NCC-1701 only became significant when Starfleet decided to honor that particular vessel, its crew, and their achievements by giving its registry to the next ship with the Enterprise name. The adding of a suffix "-A" was merely a means of distinguishing the new Enterprise from the previous one.
Starfleet could have easily have given Harriman's Enterprise a new hull registry, but they obviously decided that a tradition was now in place to give subsequent Enterprises the 1701 registry. By the time of Picard--or "Picard of the NCC-1701-D"--1701 was not so much a continual recognition of Kirk's Enterprise, but of all of the Starship Enterprises that have carried that number, IMO. It remains to be seen how long Starfleet will continue this tradition--I said in my first post I doubt we'll ever see an Enterprise NCC-1701-Z--but traditions do tend to last for a long time regardless.
Honestly, I'm more bothered by the fans' and (some) Trek alum's reverence for the registry number. When I think of Trek, I don't think of "NCC-1701," I only think of "Enterprise."
Well, I'm not really bothered, that's not quite the correct term since I don't actually care all that much.
Maybe...perplexed? :

They could always use a random but unique combination of letters and numbers. Like USS Enterprise, NCC-BNSK/9BC-FNGI:119GVB.
You want it to be an iPod?I think the F should be glossy and pearly white with no seams.
How about using barcodes? A approaching ship could "scan" the barcode to identify the ship.

An iPod has seams; big seams.

Yeah I suppose. I'm still picturing some kind of consumer appliance.

USS Enterprise, NCC-1701WTFBBQ
Provided the Enterprise-E doesn't get blown up for no apparent reason like some other starships sharing the same name, I doubt we'll be seeing a new Enterprise before 2410. Of course she crew of the ship will change frequently (after all, we can't expect Picard to remain in command until he's 100 years old) and the ship itself will get at least a second and possebly a third refit to keep her state of the art. The first one being the one seen in Nemesis with the extra pahsers and torpedo's added.
I expect the Enterprise-F the be launched around 2415, being second or possibly third of her class. The pathfinder should be comissioned around 2408. This new Enterprise will most likely be and an Explorer unlike her precesser and will be mounted with more powerful phasers and torpedo's, although not in such great numbers like the Sovereign refit.
As for the Enterprise-E hull, she'll just be comissioned with a different name and number.

After the Enterprise E was decomissioned Vulcan became the official language of the Federation and there were no more Enterprises.
USS Andorians Suck NCC-LOL-PWND
After the E-Z they will go to lower case greek letters until they get to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-λ (lambda) in the 37th Century after which the Federation will cease to exist.
wtf did u hear that??
Yup. It's a done deal.
seriously???? holy shit!! WHERE HAVE I BEEN!?!?

Thanks for bringing some sensibility to this thread. It's amazing how many people simply don't understand that the ship's name is not Enterprise E, it's "ENTERPRISE". No one refers to it by the letter, the letter is part of the registry, and registry has nothing to do with the name, it could be any number.
I though Bateson wanted to continue serving on border cutters instead of a big ship like the Enterprise.
I think the command will go to Worf or an unknown.
