Breaking Down the Gigantic Enterprise Fleet: How Star Trek's Greatest Ships Stack Up!

Summary

The fan art compares the sizes of 9 Starship Enterprises from different Star Trek series and films.

The first starship that fans were introduced to in the Original Series was the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. Notably, the fan art does not depict the larger USS Enterprise from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies.

Check out this fan art on Twitter by user @JaceRidley, which compares the sizes of 9 different Starship Enterprises. It includes the original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Other ships, such as those from Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the TNG movies, and Star Trek: Picard, are also included. The art showcases the progression from Captain Jonathan Archer's NX-01 to Captain Seven of Nine's USS Enterprise-G in the third season of Star Trek: Picard.

Starship Enterprise Size Comparison Explained

In @JaceRidley's artwork, there are nine Starship Enterprises depicted: NX-01 Enterprise, USS Enterprise NCC-1701 Constitution Class, USS Enterprise NCC-1701 Constitution Class Refit (also known as Enterprise-A), USS Enterprise-B Excelsior Class, USS Enterprise-C Ambassador Class, USS Enterprise-D Galaxy Class, USS Enterprise-E Sovereign Class, USS Enterprise-F Odyssey Class, and USS Enterprise-G Neo Constitution/Constitution III Class. While the Enterprise-D is often referred to as "The Fat One" due to its wide saucer section in Star Trek: Picard season 3, the largest ship by a significant margin is the Enterprise-F. It makes its first appearance in Picard season 3, episode 9, "Vox."

The Starship Enterprises grew consistently larger over time until reaching the USS Enterprise-G, which has caused some debate among fans. Interestingly, the Enterprise-G is actually the USS Titan-A, the prominent ship of Star Trek: Picard season 3. To acknowledge their heroic act of saving Earth during the finale of Picard season 3, the Titan was renamed Enterprise and placed under the command of Captain Seven of Nine. While some Star Trek enthusiasts may prefer a continued growth in size and power for the Enterprise lineage, the Titan possesses a narrative and history that unquestionably make it deserving of carrying the renowned name Enterprise.
