Tribute to ships named Enterprise

I watched a series 4 episode of 'Star Trek Enterprise' called 'United' recently on TV, and in the episode an Andorian character called Shran looks at sketches of 4 or 5 different vessels all named Enterprise, and asks Captain Johnathan Archer, the commander of the Enterprise NX-01 in the series, if he served all on of those shown in the sketches, and this got me thinking . . . .

How many ships have been officially called Enterprise ?.

So Ive done a bit of research on just how many ships in the real world have been given that name, and it appears to be at least 7, with a new one being commissioned and is said to be in use by 2025, which will be the 8th ship to bear the famous name.

So here on this upload, we have all 7 official ships named Enterprise, including the upcoming 8th vessel, and for a bit of fun, I decided to include all the un-official Enterprises from the Sci-Fi universe of 'Star Trek', with the exception of the refit version of Captain James T. Kirk's USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from 'The Motion Picture' to 'The Search for Spock', seeing as it is just the same ship from the original Star Trek TV Series of the late 1960's.

Finally, I decided to include the Enterprise-J which was featured briefly in an episode of the Star Trek - Enterprise TV series, and a couple of patches of one real Enterprise and the Enterprise NX-01 patch of the crew uniforms in the Star Trek prequel.

One ship from Star Trek I did leave out on purpose is the Enterprise-F [link] because as far as I know that one only appears in Star Trek computer games and never appeared in any of the TV series of films, so sorry to anyone who perhaps likes that particular Enterprise.

But none the less . . . .

LET US MAKE SURE THAT HISTORY NEVER FORGETS THE NAME - ENTERPRISE

PLEASE NOTE - The 4th Enterprise [2nd top row, on the left] says by accident 1984, it should actually say 1874. I never noticed the error prior to uploading . . . . D'OH !
