To them, and perhaps to you, the Enterprise will always be a Constitution-class ship. Thanks for reading this one as well.Ī lot of people are really invested in the Constitution designation, and that’s great. Update: Trek fan Karl Tate pointed out that guy moves off the wall in one scene and you can see the space beside the turbolift - and there was no dedication plaque on Pike’s Enterprise.
