https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbLGNDqUxA that might be my favorite moment from TNG Fornax Disaster posted:
At first I was like "oh poo poo the one that Christopher Lloyd made them blow up" but then I remember that that was actually the original Enterprise that had been retrofitted, and the 1701-A was in Final Frontier and Undiscovered Country and presumably lasted for many years afterward until retirement. I always make that mistake...

my first reaction was "poo poo, i want to buy that" despite living in an apartment and being broke. what the hell would i even do with a car-sized enterprize model, besides have sex with it (which should go without saying)?

when i was growing up my cousins lived in riverside iowa, birthplace of captain kirk, and they had a big model of the enterprise that they would haul through the streets in a parade every year and the other 364 days it sat in a park and we used to play on it and one time some cranky old nerd yelled at us to get off it. welp hope you enjoyed my story live long and proper

Part of the Khitomer Accords required the Federation to either transfer the Enterprise to hauling garbage or to be hauled away as garbage.

I seem to recall that one of the proposed origins of the Enterprise-A was that she used to be USS Yorktown, and was just coming off a "refit" when The Voyage Home happened, so they decided to rename the ship right before assigning Kirk to command her. Anyway, the admiralty meeting at the beginning of the movie has them discussing a drawdown of the fleet, so it's easy to imagine that when Enterprise radioed in "yeah we just got the crap kicked out of us, gonna take a couple weeks' to fix this poo poo" that Starfleet Command just said "...or we'll just mothball her since we've gotta cut some ships anyway."

FlamingLiberal posted:At the end of The Undiscovered Country, Uhura gets a transmission from Starfleet that the Ent-A is to be decommissioned. Which is weird because according to Memory Alpha that means it's only in service for 7 years (the end of The Voyage Home to the end of TUC is apparently a 7 year period). I assumed it was because Starfleet's Admiralty figured it was the only way to finally stop Kirk going adventuring. Promoting him sure didn't work, but no Constitution-class Enterprise, no Kirk running wild seems like a solid bet. And was.

A ship that was in the process of a major refit and rebuild at the time the whale probe arrived was hastily finished up and renamed Enterprise-A when Starfleet decided to give Kirk his ship back for saving the planet. So the ship was much older than 7 years when it was decommissioned, it had only been named Enterprise that long. Presumably construction had already begun on the -B at that point.
