[40]Canonicity [41]Distribution & Reuse [42]Disclaimer _INTRODUCTION_: When I started this project, I had no idea how big it would get. I figured that I would just use a few of my reference books on naval ships so that people on the Netnews group rec.arts.startrek.misc would ask fewer uninformed questions about naval history. I used to post it regularly to that newsgroup, until Joe Creighton offered to put it on his "Star Trek Archive" web site. (April 1995) The hit rate astonished me! People were really reading this stuff! Anyhow, people started e-mailing me with additional information, suggestions for improvements, etc. It got to be a bit overwhelming. Now I'm finding that it's not just _Star Trek_ fans who are interested. I'm now finding links to this site on real naval history sites! I suppose I should point out to any legitimate naval historians out there that this was originally designed for fans of the various _Star Trek_ television series, and so references to future history (23rd & 24th centuries) and an obscure incedent aboard CVN-65 in 1986 involving one Pavel Chekov are of course, fiction. I was also a bit sloppier about references than I should have been. When I started this, I was doing it for a (then) small community of Star Trek fans on the Internet, and I wasn't really planning on it being an academic work with footnotes and references. Some things got lost in the shuffle, and probably a few errors have crept in during transcription. Nevertheless, I've tried to at least list my sources, and thank those who have contributed.

Captured from Great Britain 18 May, 1775 at St. Johns, Quebec on the Richelieu River by Col. Benedict Arnold et. al. Armed for use on Lake Champlain, renamed _Enterprise_. They took her to Crown Point, where the inland waters were under the command of General Schuyler. She was then given to Captain Dickinson for command. _28 August 1775_: with other vessels, embarked 1000 troops for capture of St Johns, Montreal, and Quebec. August 27, 1775, with more than 1,000 troops, she helps capture St.Johns, Montreal and besieged Quebec. They are forced to retreat in the Spring of 1776 when more British Troops come. _4 September 1776_: American forces were readied to engage the British forces. _Enterprise_ and 2 schooners, eight gondolas and 4 galleons set out under the strategy of Brigadier-General Arnold. _11-13 October 1776_: Battle of Valcour Island (on Lake Champlain, near Plattsburg, NY) Tactical defeat for Americans, though strategic victory. British invasion disrupted. _Enterprise_ was one of only five ships to escape. + 11 October 1776 o 11:00am, the fleet met the British in battle. o 12:15pm, the fight was "very warm". o 5:00pm, the fight was called for the night. 60 Americans were killed. o 7:00pm, the _Enterprise_ and the rest of the fleet return to Crown Point, since 70% of the ammunition was spent. + 12 October 1776, by morning they reached Schuyler's island. o 2:00pm, weighed anchor, and continued on. o 6:00pm, reached within 28 miles of Crown Point. All night long British vessels pursued. + 13 October 1776, British vessels engaged the _Enterprise_ and American forces near Split Rock. The second battled ensued, leaving the fleet in shambles. _Enterprise_, two schooners and one gondola hastily retreated. + 14 October 1776, Enterprise reaches Ft. Ticonderoga at 4:00am. _26 October 1776_: a battle took place between British and American vessels near Plattsburg, New York. _7 July 1777_: Battle of Lake Champlain The vessel was defeated and ran aground. She and five other vessels were helping in the evacution of Ticonderoga. The _Enterprise_ was then burned at Skenesboro. While the ship was lost, the battle of Valcour Island delayed the British advance by almost a year, which allowed the Americans time to raise and train an army. The ship was destroyed during the British advance toward Saratoga. On October 17, 1777, the American army under Gen. Horatio Gates, decisively defeated the British at the Battle of Saratoga. "This victory was a primary factor in bringing about the alliance with France and bringing the powerful French Navy to the aid of the colonies." _Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, pg. 355_ Sources: + [59]Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, pg. 355 + [60]History of the Vessel Enterprise [61]Back to Table of Contents _____________________________________________________________ 9. 1776-1777 (USA) Successful privateer, purchased 20 December 1776 by Continental Navy.

Approximately 400 Japanese aircraft destroyed by planes from the Enterprise and other US carriers, and by anti-aircraft guns from other US ships. _24-26 October 1944_: Battle of Leyte Gulf. This was the largest naval battle of all time. It was so large, that historians usually subdivide it into several smaller battles, such as the Battle off Cape Engano, the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, the Battle off Samar, the Battle of the Surigao Strait, etc. USS _Enterprise_ was part of the Third Fleet's famous Task Force 38, specifically TG 38.4. + 24 October 1944: Battle of the Sulu Sea.

I thought that I had seen it in one of my books. After searching all of my references, I can find no evidence that CV-6 was involved in the sinking of the _Yamato_. Best evidence suggests that the _Yamato_ was sunk by aircraft from the carriers USS _Essex_ (CV-9), USS _Yorktown_ (CV-10), USS _Hornet_ (CV-12), USS _Bunker Hill_ (CV-17), and USS _Bennington_ (CV-20). + _11 April 1945_: Slightly damaged by kamikaze. 14 May 1945: Seriously damaged by kamikaze. 14 killed, 34 wounded.

Other Enterprises: There seems to have been a British ship named Enterprize which was sent off to find the new passage to the Orient in 1616. She succeeded, but was destroyed in a hurricane near India. There is little data on her. Apparently, there was a British ship named Enterprize that explored the Yarra River in Australia around 1820. I have no additional data. There has been a Malaysian supply ship named Enterprise since the late 1980s. I'm looking for data on her. Apparently, she is very small. There is also currently a schooner named Enterprise, built 1947. Again, I'm trying to get more information. A group in Washington DC is attempting to create a replica of the [201]1799-1823 Enterprise, to be called "Spirit of Enterprize". (sic) [202]Details are available on their website. There was a picture of an earlier space ship named Enterprise in Star Trek: TMP. There was no information about this ship in the movie, but the [203]Star Trek Space Flight Chronology lists what is apparently this same ship, as a Declaration class, 2123-2165 AD, While this ship's connection to "canon" is tenuous at best, (and, as of 2001, has been contradicted by the new series "Enterprise") the statistics are reproduced here: + Length - 300m + Diameter - 210m + Living section width - 28.7m + Mass - 52.7 million kg + Ship's Compliment: + Crew and Service Personnel - 100 + Passenger Capacity - 850 + Total ship's compliment - 950 + Performance: + Range - Standard = 350 light years Maximum= 1,200 light years + Cruising Speed - Warp 3.2 (32.8c) + Voyage duration - Standard 3 months Maximum 2.5 years + Systems: + Navigation - Celestial Warp Reader + Communication - Subspace Radio + Recreation - Null-grav gymnasium 5 dining rooms 3 theaters 3 nightclubs Forward and Rear stellar observatories + Life support: Gravity - .2 -1.2 g Atmosphere - 20% Oxygen, 11% humidity + Sustenance duration - Up to 40 years if outfitted for long-duration exploration + Engineering and Science o Advanced 2nd Generation Warp Drive o Fuel: 10:1 matter to antimatter o Separated engine and living sections for improved efficiency + Improvements and innovations: o First class of ship equipped with sub-space radio o Most popular passenger carrier of its time This original Enterprise was the first stellar spaceliner built specifically for the major Federation space lanes (such as Earth - Alpha Centauri). The travel demand that blossomed in the 22nd century resulted in 957 of these Declaration class ships being commissioned. [204]Back to Table of Contents _________________________________________________________________ _Standards for inclusion on the list_ There were of course, many other ships named Enterprise, or Enterprize, which are not listed here. No doubt, numerous yachts and other privately owned vessels were given this name, or some variant thereof. I cannot possibly list all of them here. I used to use the standard that only ships commissioned into a navy (or Starfleet) could get onto the list, but that would eliminate some of the blimps, and the America's Cup yachts, all of which are historically significant. The standard I use now is a bit vague. Commissioned warships named Enterprise are included, as are any interesting (to me) or historically significant ships named Enterprise. _Sources:_ * "Aircraft Carriers of the U.S. Navy" (2nd Edition), by Stefan Terzibaschitsch, ISBN 0-87021-001-7 Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD 1989 * "The Battle of Leyte Gulf 24-26 October 1944" by Thomas J.

A piece of information is considered "canon" if it was mentioned or shown on one of the television series (notable exception: the 1973-74 animated TV series is not considered "canon", despite the fact that some episodes were quite well done.) or in one of the movies. In general, none of the novels are "canon" sources, nor are any of the various technical books that have been published over the years. Supposedly, these standards were laid down by Gene Roddenberry himself, although I've never seen any solid documentation of this. Strictly speaking, none of my sources are canon, however some are better than others. My own historical sources on 20th century and earlier Enterprises are quite reliable. I have had to rely on some other people on the for information on some of the ships. For example, all of the information on the first two blimps came from Thomas Kozak. He cited his sources, but I haven't had time to go to the library to look up all his references. For the various _Star Trek_ Enterprises, none of the sources are "canon", but some are close. For example, the length of the original NCC-1701 was never mentioned in the original series, but Roddenberry & Whitfield wrote 947 feet in "The Making of Star Trek" and every other source since has quoted that figure. Since Roddenberry was the creator and executive producer of _Star Trek_, nobody will argue with his numbers! Similary, it's hard to argue with Rick Sternbach's numbers on NCC-1701E. * [209]Parkes and [210]Friedman are considered authoritative. Don't argue with them unless you've got REALLY good evidence. * [211]Jane's Fighting Ships is considered definitive. (even when they're wrong, they're definitively wrong!) Since 1898, the annual edition of Jane's Fighting Ships has been one of the greatest sources for information on modern warships. They make mistakes from time to time, but that's the price they pay for trying to be up-to-date on often secret ship projects. * I also hold [212]Terzibaschitsch in high regard for what he does. He does not go into great detail on the origin of the design, but he provides superb information on the exact fitting of the ship at different times, well organized comparison tables, plus some career information. * I have also found [213]Jentschura, Jung & Mickel to be reliable, and their book provided much useful information on Japanese ships sunk by CV-6. * If nothing else, the [214]Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships is official, (if somewhat dated) as it is a publication of the U.S. Navy. * I regard [215]"The Making of Star Trek", [216]"The Star Trek Encyclopedia" and [217]"Star Trek: TNG Technical Manual" as nearly canon, since they were written by the producers. Some statistics on Enterprise B, C, and D had to be taken from drawings in the Encyclopedia, so other than length, my numbers may be suspect on these ships. * The [218]"Star Fleet Technical Manual" by Franz Joseph was mostly well researched, (there are some errors) and was once considered nearly canon, but it has been contradicted many times since its publication over 20 years ago. Alas, data in this book must now be regarded as suspect. Still, the diagrams and statistics for the original NCC-1701 are helpful, and are consistent with other sources. * [219]"Ships of the Star Fleet" is sort of a late 23rd century version of "Jane's Fighting Ships", or perhaps "Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet". While it is quite interesting, and quite well produced, much of the information has no support in canon, and some of it has been contradicted in canon sources since its publication in 1987. I used this only for a few details on NCC-1701 and NCC-1701A. The drawings are marvelous, though. _Notes on Distribution and re-use of this information:_ Feel free to copy and distribute this, as long as you don't try to make any money off of it. All I ask is that you give me appropriate credit for compiling this list. It would be really nice if you credited my contributors too. _Usual Disclaimer:_ AT&T (my employer) had nothing to do with this list, so don't even think about suing them. I am solely responsible for the content of the list. I wrote it at home on my own PC on my own time. So there. David R.
