Well, the USS must be there because of the American pride...
They've always thought themselves as superior to other nations in all areas of life and technology, in which space tech is not the least. "In the future they'll remember us as the great conquerors..." and so on.

But still, there are others with even greater dreams and they're not tied to the strict military rules, i.e. they CAN do something without the army getting involved in everything interesting. As can be guessed, I find the military to be an irrational bottleneck in space travel since most of those guys who sit there making decisions have no clue about space matters.

One prob. US is non-existent and hold no power in the time of Star Trek.

so why USS? there is no US. UFS makes more sense. (United Federatino Ship)

Captain Kirk says in one of the original episodes "...of the United Star Ship Enterprise".

There's your answer. Now you can all rain on me for watching an ST episode too.

Enterprise is not a nimitz-class. nimitz starts from CVN68 and enterprise is CVN65.

Posted by Edwin on 12-24-2002 01:57 AM:

but why would it be united star ship? That would be saying that all star ships that dont have a U somewhere in front of there names are divided up into pieces/factions etc...

Its called USS out of a typing mistake. It should be UFSS (United Federation Star Ship).
just kidding .

And why was there never a Spaceshuttle named Agamemnon?

I was shocked to learn that a few years ago...but yeah...its its own class of carrier. One of a kind...although technically each Nimitz carrier is a one of a kind too. The latest ones are even bigger than the originals. Not by much, but little by little.

Exactly. The only ships that have USS in front of them are ships that belong to individuals or governments who are members of the UFP. You may notice that ships from the Klingons all start with IKS (Imperial Klingon Ship). I'm not sure about any other prefixes but I imagine all of the other governments have their own.
