I say, "One seven oh one.' Doesn't NCC stand for 'Naval Construction Contract"? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.
How do you pronounce 1701?
- Thread starter Shat Happens
- Start date
It's something used by some fans and it appeared in some gaming manuals, but "NCC" has never been officially explained onscreen.
IIRC, "Naval Construction Contract" first appeared on the Franz Joseph Enterprise blueprints.
Um... how often does your clock run backwards?
Perhaps if it's doing that a lot, you should maybe cut back on restarting your warp engines via controlled implosion.
They were also used in some FASA publications and a few novels, but "NCC" mainly was chosen by Jefferies because they were letters that just could be easily read on the Enterprise hull from a distance. But Jefferies also knew the real-world precedent of American civilian aircraft having NC registries and the former Soviet Union using CCCP registries.
offtopic, I've seen clocks that run backwards, actually they run onwards but conterclockwise because the numbers are printed inverted too. I don't know if this is true, but I'm told they were intended for barber salons for easy reading by barbers and patrons through the mirror.
Usually seventeen oh one.
^That would be 1702.
Now I'm curious on how people say their telephone numbers.
Funny. I say the last four digits of mine: eight-zero-zero-eight. I'm a riddle wrapped in an enigma!
Eight, six, seven, five, three, oh, nine.
Seriously, you have no idea how long I was waiting to work that into this tread.
