That seems to ring a bell, but it rings a bell of not being true. I'll have a look in my Star Trek books when I get home tonight. I'm sure it was his 17th pass, but I might be wrong.

As opposed to the rest of Star Trek being made by a non-profit charitable organization?
Take a look at historic fanon Starfleet designs, then look at the older ships from the new move, especially the Kelvin from 2233. That ship is supposed to be 80 years more advanced than the NX series. In the old timeline, in 2233 they had the Valley Forge-class cruiser (http://www.starfleet-museum.org/valleyforge.htm). So instead of building very primitive-looking "cruisers" staffed by 325 officers and crew, the Federation operated "explorers" with crews of 800. Bigger ships means longer build time, also the Federation wouldn't have a need for a ship the size of Enterprise until the 2250s with bigger existing ships around.
There is no VERBAL "CANON" reference that the enterprise was built in 2245. BUT--- THERE IS A VERBAL "CANON" REFERENCE in STAR TREK 3 (YES!!!) saying that the enterprise was 20-something YEARS OLD. SO THERE U HAVE IT :-)
OH.. THERE IS THE CAGE... 2254 how do you know that wasn't the SECOND MISSION OF THE SHIP, and the FIRST ONE was the assignment to go FIGHT in RIGEL, just like it happened on star trek?
Sorry for the CAPS LOCK hahahahahaha

"Why is it NCC-1701"
"NCC's 1-1699 were sabotaged and destroyed. NCC 1700 vanished without a trace 24 hours after becoming operational. To this day, no one knows what happened to it."
"Swell."
To my recollection the reasoning behind the assignment of Registration Codes has never been explained on-screen. So i have no problems with the Enterprise still being the 1701 despite its late building. For all we know its the 1701 because the Federation has a list of names to call ships, and Enterprise is 1701th on the list.

It's a space ship, not a cruise liner, it doesn't need windows.
The number on Jefferies' plane is NC 17740. (Reverse '47', heh.) The 'NC' in Enterprise's registry number comes from that, at least, but I'm not sure of the rest.
As for the number remaining unaltered in the new timeline, I think changing it would have done more widespread damage than the Hobus Star going SuperDuperNova. It would certainly have brought the entire Internet to its knees.
I remember a similar story also; a little different. The one I heard the story is that Enterprise wasn't Matt's 17th design, he said it was [starfleets] 17th basic starship design; build number 1, thus 1701.
Personally, I'd rather accept windowless decks than a crew density resembling sardines.
The destruction of the Kelvin may have resulted in more resources being pumped into Starfleet. Thus, more, bigger, and sooner.
Also, and I know I harp on this a lot, but there is the matter of information gained from Crewman Daniels' quarters. It really seems like someone was manipulating things to make certain some things came to pass, like a ship and crew that stopped so many threats to the Federation and the universe in general. The ship's name, registry, Chekov's assignment...

I heard somewhere that Roddenberry numbered it (the original TOS Enterprise) "1701" as an homage to the house number he lived across the street from.
I still like the "ITS THE FUCKING ENTERPRISE!" explaination the best
The line "IT'S THE FUCKING ENTERPRISE" needs to be put in the next movie. It would be win.
Agreed with both of these. Maybe that's what that Romulan should have said when the Enterprise came charging in to the rescue at the end of the film!
