Enterprise
From MAlf
Enterprise was the only Earth space ship that ever existed. Originally capable of warp five, it could go warp thirteen by the time of its final refit. Of course, the ship never really existed, hence why it was part of the NX class (Non-eXistant class). In actuality, this fake ship was nothing more than a part of William T. Riker and Deanna Troi's sick fantasies in the Holodeck aboard the Enterprise. (ENT: "These Were Never The Voyages...")
The Enterprise (that's right, I said the Enterprise, what of it?) was supposedly the first ship capable of traveling at warp five, which was special because that meant it could travel faster than warp four point nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine. Launched in 2151 and captained by Jonathan Archer, the ship was responsible for making first contact with a number of species nobody would ever hear from again and many they shouldn't have made contact with in the first place, such as the Borg and Ferengi. Later, it was found that Archer had actually stolen the credit from Jean-Luc Picard.
The ship's first mission was to deliver a male Klingon space hooker to his pimp. The hooker's clients, the Suliban, kidnapped the hooker and demanded their money back due to "services unserved". They gave the hooker back when Hoshi Sato offered to render those services in his place. (ENT: "Broken... hehehe.... Bow")
Enterprise was destroyed in 2161 when hundreds of rabid fanatics stormed the ship and tore it apart piece by piece. The exact reason for this act was unknown, although errant subspace messages picked up something about a "horrible series finale". (ENT: "These Are the Voyages, My Ass!") All records of this version of Enterprise were subsequently erased from history, except in the aforementioned twisted holoprogram mentioned above.
Although it took nearly a century, Starfleet ultimately gathered all the pieces of the destroyed Enterprise, rebuilt it and renamed it The Enterprise, then kicked it out of spacedock with a schmuck named Robert April in command. Since this Enterprise was pieced together using wire hangers, duct tape, and chewing gum, she ended up resembling something from a low-budget 1960s TV show. This "upgraded" ship was launched in 2245 but it immediately fell apart at the seams. The ship was rebuilt, this time using self-sealing stem bolts in place of chewing gum, and the ship was relaunched under the command of Christopher Trout in 2251, although it still looked like something from a 20th century model kit.
At this time, Enterprise became a Starship class vehicle from the other end of the galaxy. The first vessel of the 17th series of ships commissioned by Starfleet, she was the first with warp drive. This means that she predates herself, the USS Bonaventure, the SS Valiant and Cochrane's Phoenix. Don't try to think about it, you'll just hurt yourself.
Measuring between four hundred fifty and nine hundred feet (or 300 yards), depending on the season, the Enterprise can attain warp lots speeds and maintain them either indefinitely or for only a few more seconds before she will blow up. Originally designed to house of crew of 203, a bitter intergalactic war forced Starfleet to double the occupancy, but without adding even one head to the ship.
All crew accomodations and compartments are designed with a 36 degree offset from the centerline, including the bridge.
Virtually all of the ship's spaces are devoted to the engine room, which spans several decks. Although there appears to be a plethora of briefing rooms and lounges, there is very little space for transporters or shuttle craft, even though the hangar deck takes up a third of the ship's total volume.
Enterprise is enormously massive (about a million gross tons, per TOS: Here's Mudd In Your Eye!) and is constantly in danger of falling into the gravity well of any planet it orbits.
It's a wonder the ship flies at all, and not at all surprising that James T. Kirk destroyed her over the Exodus Planet in 2285.

[edit] Deuterocanonical
There was never a starship Enterprise. She was actually part of the Tommy Westphall universe.
