Star Trek: 10 Secrets About The USS Enterprise-F You Need To Know

Of all the USS Enterprise iterations, the F just misses out on the shortest screen appearance of any such named vessels. This is ironic, given that she actually has a decent in-universe lifespan, longer than many of her predecessors.

Externally and internally it manages to come in second to the blink-and-miss cameo of the Enterprise-J featured briefly in Enterprise. That one still holds the record especially since it was only ever seen as a graphic and as a partial corridor section.

Appearing in Picard's third season and then just in Võx and The Last Generation, the Odyssey Class vessel makes a grand arrival to the Frontier Day celebrations through a forest of fireworks but this also marks its decommissioning.

Yes, the F was briefly glimpsed as a graphic in the possession of one Ro Laren earlier in the season but its only physical appearance is part of the fleet manoeuvres, before being utterly eclipsed by the return of the USS Enterprise-D.

Despite the F being given such a prominent shot in the trailers, it manages only a few minutes on screen in which to secure its canon status.
