What is your personal head canon?

I’m not sure who you’re referring to as a troll, but let’s not do that please.

It was not directed at you.

I apologize.

Personally I think they'd skip letter I, as well as O, Q, S, X, and Z. Those letters are typically not used in drawing view titles (i.e. View A or Section B-B), and are also not used in drawing revision letters. They're either too similar to numbers, each other, or are reserved for other uses (X).

I can go with that.

Then, in that case, I'm going with...

25th Century
Enterprise-G
Enterprise-H
Enterprise with a New Registry Number
Enterprise with a Second New Registry Number
Enterprise with a Third New Registry Number

26th Century
Enterprise-J

The 24th Century had five Enterprises (B, C, D, E, and F) of varying lengths of service, and at least one 20-year break (between the C and D). So, I'll say the 25th Century also had five Enterprises. Also, of different service lengths and with another extended break in there somewhere.

In my mind: the 23rd Century had four Enterprises. I count the 1701 twice, since the TMP Enterprise is "an almost totally new Enterprise" to quote Decker. Then the Enterprise-A. And the first seven years of the Enterprise-B.

I'm not going to count the Enterprise-F as 25th Century since it was decommissioned in 2401. It was barely there.

I'll call the Enterprise-J the first new Enterprise of the 26th Century, and it doesn't matter when it was commissioned. In my mind, there was a huge gap between the Enterprise-J and the Enterprise before it. In fact, given the scale of the Enterprise-J and how different it is, it's the most radical departure from its predecessors ever.

I think the Enterprise-J is what the Enterprise-D wanted to be: a city in space, except on a starship. And this one's much larger. It wouldn't surprise me if the Enterprise-J had its own Mayor, who would be separate from the Captain.

EDITED TO ADD: And because so much would've gone in making the Enterprise-J, and given how large it is, in my head-canon I think it served MUCH longer than any other Enterprise up to that point. Possibly 50 to 100 years.

There's far, FAR more effort at explaining what the Nexus is than Braga and Moore ever bothered to consider.

It's a terrible idea from an awful film. It doesn't deserve this much thought. If only they'd just gone with a story similar to "Yesterday's Enterprise" since most of the movie audience likley hadn't seen it...

In my head canon the Alpha Centauri colony to which Zefram Cochrane eventually relocates is the second human colony outside the solar system, right after Terra Nova. Cochrane is living there by the 2110s, so that would place its settlement by the end of the 21st or very beginning of the 22nd century.

Is this your first time on a Star Trek message board?
