Now, I admit I'm an ex-zoomie, not a squid, but there is one thing I do
know about ships...

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.
