And it's suspect that a perfectly good ship gets scrapped after ten years of service

Actually April's Enterprise was at least 30 years old. The comic states it was decommissioned two years ago, April abandoned it 20 years ago, at which point he states he'd been already been captain for 10 years

[captain_obvious]

And last but not least, we're all basing our arguments on 20th century vessel naming practices and what little we've seen on screen.  Both terrible ways to speculate how much military matters may have changed in several hundred years.

Actually, mine was based off of off-on-screen precedent.  Which may have been based off of 20th century military practice....

Damn you!

Wait, what? Hold up - it's supposed to be the alternate timeline only after 2233 (around the period Kirk was born), and the last Enterprise that was in service (that we know of) was the NX-01 seven decades prior to the timeline swap...Jesus Christ, who writes this shit?

Main time line captains record

Captain Robert April (2245)
Captain Christopher Pike (2250s through early 2260s)
Captain James T. Kirk (2265-2270; as rear admiral in early 2270s)

It all falls into place if everything is fast tracked about ten years because of the Narada and rising tensions between Klingons and the Federation over it all.  April gets a fast-laned Enterprise around 2235-40, which after twenty to thirty years, sees a nearly complete overhaul of the ship to approximately Prime universe refit specs, and is recommissioned under Christopher Pike as the flagship of the Federation.  (Don't forget that a decommissioning is not necessarily destruction.)

I like this theory. A possible 'Enterprise' under Captain April, launched in 2235 (just 2 years after the Narada attack that destroyed the Kelvin). Gives time for April to Captain her for 20 years, leading into the construction of the "New Enterprise" around 2255, and it's commissioning in 2258.

Hmmm....

If true, Abrams may well have shot himself in the foot. Rebooting is one thing - the Nolan Batman trilogy and the Daniel Craig Bond films, for example - but for the director to outright claim that "everything that came before me is meaningless" is egotism of the highest order. If it can be confirmed he actually said this; all we have is this interview claiming he did.

[Shadowknight1]

I've never heard that said and I really can't imagine JJ being THAT arrogant.

Some new info

Those like me going to see Oz this month will see a short kid friendly trailer with some new stuff. Then later this month with GI Joe will be the debut of the 2 1/2 minute theatrical trailer with even more newness.

[Shadowknight1]

Those of you like ME and NOT seeing Oz...see the trailer now.

[Tuskin38]

A friend noticed this in the trailer, left of Kirk A Connie-like ship, but it doesn't look like the Enterprise. Plus I'm pretty sure Kirk is being launched from the Enterprise in that shot.

[Shadowknight1]

From the spacing of the nacelle pylons and the shape of the nacelles, that's either the ship we see crashing into the water so many times throughout these trailers or a similar ship.  Heck, might be Robert April's Enterprise for all we know.

EDIT: Glad to see Pike on his feet.

[Nebula]

check the ship out on the bottom right at 0:59

[Killallewoks]

It's an identical ship to one that was destroyed at Vulcan my Nero.

[captain_obvious]

Looks like one of those kelvinprises that people thought of some time ago..

EDIT

The one at 0:59 of that trailer looks a lot like the akyazi class to me

[Tuskin38]

There is a USS Bradbury in Into Darkness, nice homage.

Spock is transferred to it after the incident on the alien planet

[Shadowknight1]

Funny enough, going frame by frame during the Enterprise warping scene, she seems to leave a pair of "trails" behind her warp engines like the Enterprise did in some of the movies.

Also, you can barely hear the edit, but the line "Do you have any idea what a pain you are" sounds cut.  Probably couldn't get away with calling Kirk a pain in the ass on what is meant to be a "kid-friendly" trailer.

Also, I love Spock's line after the ship Kirk is flying barely manages to not get smashed. "I am not sure that qualifies."  Dead-pan snarkiness from our favorite Vulcan.

[captain_obvious]

lol ikr?

Its the same ship for sure and no doubt Adm. Marcus(Weller) is on that ship. Thats gotta be our moon and clearly Kirk+1 are chasing after someone and gets that ship and the Enterprise in Earth orbit and they are both brought down somehow.

The one at the far left you mean right? The one on the right is the Newton type.
