[net.startrek] ships named Enterprise

ugzannin@sunybcs.UUCP (Adrian Zannin) (04/20/85)

   In previous postings about ships named Enterprise, the WWII carrier
is mentioned and so is the present-day carrier.  Well, I heard from
a reliable source that the present-day carrier is just the WWII carrier
refitted.  Could this be where the idea to refit the starship came from?

I am sorry. The Enterprise is not the WW2 ship refitted, check your source
for accuracy.

No, uh-uh, no way, sorry.  That's just *NOT* true.  The current Enterprise
is a hell of a lot bigger, for one.  Please ask your reliable source to
be more reliable in the future.
