In 1964 Gene Roddenberry first proposed the Star Trek series to NBC. The central starship in that proposal was indeed the USS Yorktown named after the WWII aircraft carrier and the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. The art director for the original series had an aviation background which lead him to use NCC (NC is an international recognition code for US aircraft. The second C was just to make it different.). The 1701 was his 17th model and the first of that series. USS is United Space Ship.
There have been several Enterprises:
1. NX-01 Mankind's first warp 5 starship Jonathan Archer's ship in the Enterprise Series
2. NCC-1701 Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser; Captains: Robert April(2245-2250), Christopher Pike(2250-2265), James T. Kirk(2265-2270), Willard Decker(2270-2271), James T. Kirk(2271-2285) destroyed in orbit over the Genesis Planet to keep it out of Klingon hands (Star Trek III)
3. NCC-1701-A Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser; Captains: Admiral Kirk demoted to Captain (Star Trek V and Star Trek VI) ordered back to Earth to be decommissioned. In Shattner's novel Ashes of Eden the –A is destroyed.
Roddenberry suggested that the USS Yorktown had been renamed Enterprise-A at the end of Star Trek IV to explain its rapid launch.
4. NCC-1701-B modified Excelsior Class starship; Captains: John Harriman. Launched incomplete with Kirk, Scott, and Chekov as guests on board. Caught in the Nexus Kirk is believed killed in a hull breach. Lost and presumed destroyed in 2329
5. NCC-1701-C Ambassador Class Heavy Crusier; Captains: Rachel Garrett in 2344 the –C responds to a Klingon outpost distress call, battles 4 Romulan warbirds, passes through a temporal rift to 2366 where the Federation and Klingons are at war, meets the Enterprise-D which assists in repairs; the –D and –C are attacked by Klingons; Garrett is killed but the –C returns through the rift and the original battle with the Romulans to restore the timeline.
6. NCC-1701-D Galaxy Class Explorer; Captains: Jean-Luc Picard (2364) began a 7-year mission. In 2371 attacked by a Klingon Bird-of-Prey a warp core breach destroyed the star-drive section. However the saucer section had already separated but the shock wave from the core breach drove it into Veridian III where it crash landed.
7. NCC-1701-E Sovereign Class Starship; Captains: Jean-Luc Picard (2372) Data (android B-4) after Picard retires. The Enterprise-E is the ship of Star Trek First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis
