> [@Saltire](#): > > I don’t have time to back myself up with a cite, but I’m pretty sure it’s “Naval Construction Contract.” I agree. That fact is in either David Gerrold’s “World of Star Trek”, or “The Making of Star Trek” by Roddenberry (With someone else whose name eludes me). ---

The original Enterprise “blue prints” released in 1975 use Naval Construction Contract 1701. Flashes of the deck plans appeared on a bridge viewscreen in TWOK, so can we consider it canon? ---

Naval Construction Code is correct. It’s been a while since I’ve studied Trek ferverently and minutiae like that is one of the first things to go. 🙂 It’s still not canon though. ---
