Star Trek: Every Starship Enterprise Ranked From WORST To BEST

The hastily re-christened Enterprise-G shares a similarity (at least in rumour) to another ship on this list. Like one of its predecessors, it was an active starship before being honoured with the greatest name in the fleet. 

The Constitution-III class ship was originally the USS Titan-A. Under the command of Captain Liam Shaw, it was a well-oiled machine, benefiting from an engineer's style. It rarely saw combat or ventured outside of its comfort zone. Perhaps that is why it was in pristine condition when Admiral Picard (retired) and Captain Riker boarded in 2401.

The Enterprise-G, when it was given that new name in honour of the crew of an earlier iteration, was commanded by Captain Seven Of Nine. Though she had served aboard the ship for more than a year by the time of her promotion, it hadn't been an easy service. Shaw, damaged and traumatised from his experiences during the Battle of Wolf 359, kept her at arm's length and refused to address her by her Borg designation.

The legacy of the Enterprise-G, so far, is one of rebirth and renewal. Shaw, like the Titan name itself, was a symbol of a previous time. The physical ship itself may hail from that time, but with Seven in the captain's seat, its future is largely unknown. This may be a quiet period in Star Trek's history in which we now find ourselves, but there remains a ship and a crew with a blank canvas, ready to earn their place in history.

At that point, it will almost definitely see itself higher on this list.
