It was active during the mid to late 23rd century and was captained under three different men, Captain Robert April, Captain Christopher Pike and Captain James T. Kirk. Captain Pike served as Captain of the Enterprise from 2251 to 2264, after which he was promoted to the rank of Fleet Captain. James T. Kirk served as captain of the Enterprise for two five-year missions, the first of which, largely accepted as the most celebrated of missions under Kirk's command, took place between 2265-2270.

Notes & Trivia

 * The visual look of the Enterprise and its interiors were designed primarily by Walter Matt Jefferies. He designed the saucer-shaped hull, engineering hull and two warp nacelles.


 * There were 203 crew members stationed aboard the Enterprise while under the command of Captain Pike.


 * It was a common practice during the 1960s to present television shows with characters who smoked. The USS Enterprise is the only Federation starship with an official "No Smoking" policy. This was done at the urging of series creator Gene Roddenberry, who bulked at the idea of supporting advertizing dollars for the tobacco industry.


 * In 2265, there were over 100 female officers serving aboard the Enterprise.
