Exactly what he said.
Get outta Town! Really? Who's doing it and when is it coming out?
The Exclesior class starship Calypso.
Name is my own.
Excelsior because it is the essence of Starfleet design and the sexiest ship out there.

My ship of choice would be the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-E probably my favourite starship outside of the Galaxy Class and Defiant vessels.

Commander
I'm the pod pilot in TMP passing by Admiral Kirk's pod from the top of the screen to bottom on it's way to the Enterprise with Mr Scott.
You see it all went wrong for me at the Academy when it was noted that I had trouble taking command classes seriously and that I'd rather get drunk and shag other cadets.
I was too drunk to take the Kobayashi Maru test and even if sober, I had an appointment with the sexually transmitted diseases clinic that morning for some burning discharge in the trouser snake department.
So what followed was a series of dull and uninteresting postings to boring roles and my eventual court martial and acquittal for allowing a little oriental fellow to beat me up while I was supposed to be guarding some Doctor or other. They went on to knick a ship and start an intersteller incident by all accounts.
I'll never call anyone 'tiny' again.

I'm the guy still sitting in his Defiant Class starship, unable to go anywhere to explore since a defiant is far from capable of self-sustaining. Yet anyone of you come near my moon you will get only one message before pulse cannons blow you to hell.

"I said GET THESE DAMN KIDS OFF MY LAWN!"
1st choice:
I'd want a Galaxy class. I'd retrofit it with a more powerful warp core and uprated phaser arrays in the Sovereign power range. Then, I'd want to install a phaser drone launcher which can launch charged phaser drones that when depleted return to the ship. I'd also install full fighter squadrans, with delta flyer type and danube type shuttles. Also, i'd install a twin launcher on deck 11, at the foward edge of the ventral primary hull, and two launchers aft on the neck, just below the shuttle bays, both able to fire quantum torpedo's. Ablative hull armor would also be applied, and the fancy armor generator's would be incorporated into the shield grid for seemles activation between shields and armor. I'd also have the peak warp factor boosted as much as possible. Instead of a maximum warp of 9.6 (1,915.2 times the speed of light) , i'd have it be warp 9.99 (7900.2 times the speed of light). I'd also install bio-neural gel packs to compliment the isolinear technology. I'd have more tactical teams, scientific teams, medical teams, etc. as well, boosting my overall crew into the 1200 range, and i'd install another computer core in the secondary hull to backup the single one already there. Then i'd also install kitchens in most of the major messhalls and tenfoward to prepare freshly cooked meals. It'd boost moral with a home cooked meal, and save massive amounts of energy from the replicator system. There would also be several hydroponics bays around the ship to grow the food, and maybe a butchery for the meat (although I may allow using the replicators for any meat storage, and limit meat meals to once a week for power saving reasons. Though a butchery would be better admitadly.) And i'd add regenerative shields.
2nd choice:
An intrepid class. I'd retrofit this one as well, though not as extensively. I'd largen the shuttle bay for one. It's too tiny. Then, i'd add two extra aft phaser strips port and starboard of the shuttlebay for better aft coverage. I'd also have more of a compliment of torpedo's. 100 photon, and 100 quantum's should do it. There is plenty of space on an Intrepid class, it's similar in size to an excelsior, and almost the same size as a Constitution. Then one foward tube and aft tube would fire a quantum, and the other would fire a photon. I'd also redo the interior with more comforting tones than the cold metallics Voyager had. I'd also want to include some families and civilians, and definatly kitchens like my Galaxy with all the components needed for one. My crew would be boosted in the 200 range including the civilians and families. My phaser output would also be boosted to an uprated galaxy power output, and i'd activate the second warp core for extra power. I'd also add the armor generator integrated into the shield grid, and regenerative shields, and a phaser drone launcher.
3rd choice:
An uprated Ambassador class. I've always liked this design, I think it looks regal. I'd add more aft phaser arrays, and a ventral secondary hull array. However, even though it doesn't show it on screen, the ship should have one anyway. Andrew Proberts original design had a ventral array, and so did the redraw. I think that because the episode was rushed, the props department accidentally left it out. But i would definately add aft fantail phaser strips. I'd also boost the power with a more advanced warp core of the phasers to a galaxy class' range, and install an aft torpedo launcher in the ventral secondary hull and the bottom most area (like the E-E), and one in the aft neck. In addition to the foward launcher in the neck, i'd add onethe the rim on the very foward portion as well. I'd have 200 photon's and 150 quantum's. I'd also have, like the galaxy, full fighter wings of the same type, kitchens, a bigger crew of about 1000, and i'd include a secondary warp core like the intrepid. The armor generator is a must, as well as regenerative shields, and I'd connect the saucer's phaser strips. I'd also give the saucer impulse engines since the ship can seperate, and the ability to reattach. I'd boost the max warp to aroun d the 9.9 range as well. It would also have a phaser drone launcher as well.

It's by a company called Round 2, which is re-releasing all the old Star Trek kits, including a brand new kit of the Akira, in plastic. Unfortunately, the Akira has now been announced for 2010. But since I've waited this long for them to actually make a model of this ship, I can wait a little longer now.
Here's their website:

You got sexually aroused when writing that. Didn't you?
Even though it's not officially a Federation starship, I'd love to captain a Dauntless-class vessel with slipstream drive -- after all, Voyager did make extensive scans of the vessel and its drive, so they should be able to reproduce it by the early 25th century. I want to go faster than those other captains, damnit! And I'd name it the U.S.S. Indomitable! -- RR
1. My uprated Triumphant-Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-170100, but
2. You said, "canon", so I'll go with a Sovereign class.
3. I'd also really like a ocean-going vessel, built to look like a Miranda-Class starship, with the nacelles and the bottom of the primary hull being pontoons. Can you imagine the looks on the faces of people on other ships? And the fun you could have travelling within visual range of military lanes?
