HMS Enterprize opening credits — The HMS *Enterprize*

The HMS Enterprize, a British galleon, was a notable Human naval ship to bear the name "Enterprise".

No information on this vessel was given beyond its appearance in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise. That she was British is assumed by her bearing the prefix "HMS". That she was a galleon was evidenced by her depiction.

Historically, the Royal Navy has had two ships named HMS Enterprize (spelled with a 'z'): an eight-gun sloop captured from the Spanish in 1743, and a ten-gun tender later captured by the Americans in 1775. Neither were galleons.

-The '''''Enterprise''''', an [[18th century]] sailing frigate, was one of the first [[Human]] [[navy|naval]] [[ship]] to bear the name "''[[Enterprise history|Enterprise]]''".
-From [[2151]] until [[2161]], [[Jonathan Archer]], the [[captain]] of the [[Starfleet]] [[starship]] [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']], had a drawing of ''Enterprize'' hanging in his [[captain's ready room|ready room]]. (''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'')
-While viewing the captain's display of ships named ''[[Enterprise]]'' in [[2154]], [[Shran]] asked Archer if he had personally served aboard the various vessels on display. Archer noted that many of these vessels were active before his time, and that ''Enterprise'', specifically, sailed "almost four hundred years ago". ({{ENT|United}})
-== Background ==
-Archer's painting was drawn by ''Star Trek'' illustrator and designer [[John Eaves]]. It is an almost exact copy of a photo of the US Navy frigate {{w|U.S.S. Constitution|USS ''Constitution''}} ("Old Ironsides"), stationed in Boston. As no prefix is given for the ''Enterprise'' shown in Archer's drawing, it is not known which [[Royal Navy]] or [[US Navy]] ''Enterprise'' is depicted.
