Your Favorite On-Screen Trek Ship

I'm not familiar with any of those other than the NCC-1701. Were they shown in the series(es) or movies?
I found the others in some fan base , internet-based shows about 5 or 6 year's ago the NO Kill was a starship of half rock because it had some Horta a crew and the Overkill was a super -super dreadnought class . The McCoy was a hospital ship and the Nimoy was seen in one of the shipyard being made ready to go to a space as a museum that would go from planet to planet like the U.S.S. Enterprise N.C.C.-1701-M fan based
 
1.) The TMP Enterprise-A
They took a timeless classic, and improved it.

2.) The original Enterprise
What can I say? A timeless classic;)
Probably the most iconic starship design in the entirety of science fiction (cue Star Wars complainers). Out of simple shapes a revolutionary design which still feels like form follows funtion. Almost a small miracle someone (Matt Jeffries!) came up with it!

3.) The JJ-Prise
Basically the original Enterprise, just a bit more modernized and streamlined. A bit out of proportion, but still a great design. Do I sense a pattern here...?

------------------------------------------------

4.) Harry Kim's Rhode Island (future Nova-class from VOY's finale)
Small, unique, functionalist, sleek. I always liked the Equinox, but the improved refit is just an amazing design! With a tri-angle as a saucer, a bit bulky because of it's small size, and notably an inspiration for the movies Enterprise-E, it's just a crafty little workhorse!

5.) The TNG Enterprise-D / Jonathan Archers NX-01
Both are very unique designs, that have a strong character and are on first sight immediatly identifiable as Star Trek ships, but feel like they are complete, functional designs on their own within that universe. I don't just love the designs, I love them as characters. One day I prefer the one, another day the other one.

There are so many!

If I had to choose a top five (listed alphabetically, don't think I could rate them top to bottom):
Ambassador-Class (canon version, as in the E-C)
Constitution-Class (refit)
Miranda-Class
Norway-Class
Sabre-Class
 
Nebula class - triangular pod variant. While I love the Galaxy (and as others have mentioned, its amenities), there's just something about the more compact design that I really like.
 
Wow, am I the only one that thinks Sulu's Excelsior is the prettiest ship in starfleet?
The Excelsior was ok but made a subclass out of Enterprise B with the looks of a clipper airplane of the 1930's and 1940's the Engineering hull at the back section looks weaks being so thin in decks

I could keep it real simple and say the Enterprise D is my least favorite. I don't hate it, it's just my least favorite. I love the original, the refit/A, B, C & E. I love the Nova Class ship as seen in the Voyager series end episode "Endgame."
 
surprise no love for birds of prey. they are run of the mill and overexposed but definitely a classic design. threatening and gorgeous
 
The BOP is one of my favorite Trek ships (surprise; it comes from TSFS, some of the best Trek designs ever), but you're right, it's exceptionally overexposed.
 
that's my favourite confiiguration too

i actually liked the schimitar as well, because i'm bored of ships all having 2 phaser arrays and a couple torpedo tubes. im sure their tech can handle more, and more redundancy. picards "shes a predator" or whatever he said when it decloaked was so apt and cool

The Romulan bird of prey was the only planet friendly design ships of TOS it was a plane spaceship and it may have been the through behind the orbiter base design.
