You RARELY, if EVER, find a ship (as opposed to a yacht, etc.) named with a sequence number... i.e. Enterprise II. Refering back to ST-TMP, there is a sequence in the crew lounge where Decker shows a set of pictures of "Ships named Enterprise." There are at least three pictures other than the ST ship there... the ST ship isn't called Enterprise IV, is it? There was an aircraft carrier named Enterprise in WWII, which was scrapped in the 50's, and of course, the the completely different nuclear carrier today. For historicl purposes, the ships are differentiated by their numerical designation, such as CV(N)-68 for a nuclear carrier, DD-530 for a destroyer, etc. If Kirk 'n company get a new ship in ST IV, it should be named: ENTERPRISE and have a new NCC number.
