I thought it was an ironic piece at first, a'la the Onion. If there's anything worse than getting my geekery wrong, it's when someone else corrects it and is even more wrong!
NCC-1701. Originally commanded by Robert April, then Christopher Pike. Subsequently Captained by James Kirk for 5 years. Refitted after the end of its 5 year mission and commanded by Admiral Kirk during the events of Star Trek movies 1,2 & 3. Destroyed by Commander Kruge above the Genesis planet at the end of 3. Constitution Class (or occasionally called Starship class)
NCC-1701-A. Originally USS Yorktown. Name changed and command transferred to James Kirk in recognition of his saving the planet from the weird whale loving space probe in Star Trek 4. Appeared in ST5 and 6, retired at the end of 6. Constitution Class
NCC-1701-B. Commanded by Captain Harriman in ST-Generations (7). Various novels have depicted its voyages, but nothing official. Excelsior Class
NCC-1701-C. Commanded by Rachel Garrett. Appeared in ST-TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". Lost at Narendra 3 to Romulan attackers. Ambassador Class
NCC-1701-D. Present throughout Star Trek - The Next Generation. Destroyed at the end of ST-Generations by the Duras sisters Bird-of-Prey. Saucer section crashes on Veridian 3. Galaxy Class
NCC-1701-E. Appeared in ST8-10. Heavily damaged but repaired following events of Nemesis. Apparently still in use for a long time as appeared in non-canon comic series that acted as a prequel for the new Star Trek movie. Sovereign Class
NCC-1701-J. Appeared in Enterprise episode Azati Prime and 2005 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar. Very little known, but ship is huge (claimed at 2 miles) and tipped to be a Universe class.
I can add the NX-01 and XCV-330 as well, but that'd be perhaps going too far.
Nope, Harriman tried to offer him command before he went to make the deflector produce a quantum resonance burst, but Kirk told him to stay put and did the job himself (and got blown up/ absorbed into the Nexus).
Imagine I replied to all the people talking about the Enterprise and just said "trap sprung"
I like how the answer to many of the tough questions was basically "yeah we could do it right now. Like this *snaps fingers*. But we don't need to right now. Maybe we'll be able to in a bit." Short-termism in government sucks but is an inevitability a lot of the time
*strokes Long Now Foundation membership card; is smug and a middle-class do-nothing*
To clarify, I am referring to myself as a smug middle-class do-nothing. I wasn't being snide about Guardian readers generally or anything. Although I probably could be.

Kirk briefly took command on the B, I think?
