It's official. The Enterprise is built in...(spoilers)

[btflash]

"There is no way I'm going around introducing you as 'Sam Francisco'."

i liked the scene where caan is intoduced to an alien named "rudyard kipling" and remarks' the boys at immigration must have gotten a little punch drunk by time they named you"! funny stuff.

Lets review them.

TOU:
ENT
TOS
TNG
DS9
VOY

TMP
TWOK
TSFS
TVH
TFF
TUC
FC
INS
NEM

TNU:
ST

Not that difficult.

In TOU, you left out the MU as an official named subset...

FOUL! Grasping at straws!

Could be that the Starfleet San Francisco Yards has various facilities around the world they operate......

Maybe they just call the yard in Iowa 'San Francisco Yard', nothing says the San Francisco Yard has to be in San Francisco.

 

[GilmourD]

In fact, "San" is short for "Sanford."

Sanford Francisco is the name of the chief designer of the Enterprise.

He's a descendant of George and Susan Francisco, who were among the quarter of a million Tenctonese refugees who settled on Earth in the late 20th century.

See, it all fits together within meta-canon.

wasn't george's real name"sam"? i think it was james caan's character that gave him the nickname george if im not mistaken.

And wasn't Kirk's brother Sam's real name George?

Look, it's completely obvious why the Enterprise is being built in Iowa.


Midwesterners are still mad about the Klingon who crashed in the cornfield in ENT's first episode, "Broken Bow." So they built a giant starship in the corn as a "scarecrow" to keep the Klingons away. They even named it "Enterprise" after the first ship to go screw with the Klingons. This also explains why country boy Kirk hates Klingons so much when he grows up, because they keep ripping up cornfields! And to add insult to injury, after they ripped up his cornfields, then they killed his boy! Ingrates!

Only problem?

The next Klingon crash landed INTO the Enterprise.
