In , Pike would obtain a half Human - Vulcan science officer , Spock , who served under him for over eleven years. Pike's missions included voyages to the Rigel , Vega , and Talos systems. At some point between and , the Enterprise underwent a major refit, radically changing its appearance.
During the refit, nearly every part of the ship was changed, looking similar but having a completely different design. In late , Michael Burnham encouraged Cadet Sylvia Tilly to improve her physical conditioning so that she would stand out amongst her peers and be assigned to the Enterprise or one of its "sister ships.
At that time, the Enterprise was on a five-year mission under Pike. With the Federation-Klingon War underway, Starfleet elected not to recall the starship and leave the vessel as an instrument of last resort, so ordered Pike and his crew to remain out of the fighting. Pike later accused Starfleet Command of not recalling Enterprise because they knew he would steadfastly remind them of Federation values, but Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell , the only Starfleet Command representative present to hear the accusation, countered that they "wanted the best of Starfleet to survive," if the war was lost, and they had deemed that to be Enterprise.
Following the conclusion of the war in , the Enterprise was dispatched by Starfleet to investigate one of a series of unidentified signals detected throughout the galaxy. DIS : " Brother " En route, the ship suffered multiple catastrophic systems failures, leading Pike to issue a priority 1 distress call. A week later, Pike's first officer , Una , reported to Pike that the holographic comm system was the source of the failures, which had compromised primary systems.
Pike ordered Una to tell Chief Engineer Louvier to strip the system from the ship in favor of viewscreen communication. After the Discovery acquired data from a Sphere that would ultimately lead to the evolution of Section 31 artificial intelligence Control which would threaten all sentient life in the Milky Way Galaxy , Pike was left with no other option but to set the Discovery 's auto-destruct system and call the Enterprise for immediate evacuation of the ship's crew.
On stardate When all personnel were fully evacuated, Captain Pike ordered Discovery 's destruction. However, the Sphere intelligence utilized Discovery 's defensive systems to block the Enterprise 's torpedo volley. Unable to eliminate Discovery , the crew determined that sending the Discovery into the future was the only method to secure the Sphere data from Control.
After the decision was made to destroy Discovery to prevent its capture by Control, the ship deployed evacuation corridors to transfer its crew to Enterprise. Following a decisive battle with Control, and the loss of a significant portion of the saucer section, the Enterprise underwent extensive repairs in orbit of Earth.
Following the repairs to the Enterprise , the ship resumed its mission of exploration, once again under the command of Christopher Pike. Their first stop was to a new moon that was discovered at Edrin II.
At some point between and , the Enterprise appeared to have undergone a refit, the design being reverted back to an older appearance from during however with different warp nacelles and impulse engines as well as the interior. In , the Enterprise was assigned to another five-year mission of deep-space exploration, and command passed to James T. The ship's primary goal during this mission was to seek out and contact alien life.
Captain Kirk's standing orders also included the investigation of all quasars and quasar-like phenomena. Beyond its primary mission, the Enterprise defended Federation territories from aggression, aided member worlds in crisis, and provided scientific expeditions and colonies in its patrol area with annual examinations and support.
From to , the Enterprise visited over seventy different worlds and encountered representatives of over sixty different species. More than twenty of those were first contacts with beings previously unknown to the Federation, including stellar neighbors like the First Federation and Gorn , voyagers from the Kelvan Empire in distant Andromeda , and powerful non-corporeal entities like the Thasians , Trelane , and the Organians.
The Enterprise was the first Federation vessel to survive an encounter with the galactic barrier. The ship's warp drive and other systems, however, were critically damaged which later prompted the ship to be refit and repaired, changing its appearance slightly for the rest of Kirk's mission and casualties totaled twelve crewmembers and officers.
By stardate The reality of time travel , externally influenced, had been known for over a century , but following two accidental temporal displacements , the Enterprise became the Federation's first deliberately-controlled timeship.
Observing the death-throes of Psi , the crew suffered from polywater intoxication and the Enterprise nearly lost orbit after an engine shutdown. A previously untested " cold start ", via controlled matter-antimatter implosion , saved the ship, but the high-speed escape from the planet's gravity well caused the ship to travel three days into the past.
In , while escaping the gravitational pull of a black star , the Enterprise was hurled through space and time to Earth of The crew developed and executed a method to return to their own time, by warping around the sun 's gravity well in a slingshot maneuver. A year later, the Enterprise was ordered to repeat the recently proven slingshot effect, and returned to Earth's past on a mission of historical observation.
Some missions of discovery confronted Enterprise with entities and mechanisms that threatened great swaths of Federation and neighboring space. An ancient " planet killer ", fueled by the consumption of planets it destroyed with its antiproton weapon , approached Federation population centers in It required the combined efforts of the Enterprise and its "sister ship", USS Constellation , to destroy the invader.
One year later, in , a single-cell organism of colossal scale emitted negative energy , toxic to humanoid life, killing the entire Vulcan crew of the USS Intrepid. The Enterprise penetrated the cell interior and destroyed the organism before its imminent cell division threatened to overwhelm the rest of the galaxy.
The Enterprise fires a proximity blast. The nature of its mission of exploration meant the Enterprise was frequently the only Federation military asset in a little-known, otherwise undefended frontier. When called into harm's way, the ship regularly did so with little chance of immediate support against previously unknown enemies and threats.
Happily, the Enterprise 's earliest engagement of its five-year mission, against a deceptively powerful starship called the Fesarius , ended with an amicable first contact with the First Federation in TOS : " The Corbomite Maneuver " Following the destruction of a colony on Cestus III , a surprise attack — from a previously unknown species — led the Enterprise to battle and pursue an evenly matched Gorn starship in TOS : " Arena ".
The Enterprise played the fox for four of its " sister ships " in a war games problem on stardate Equipped with the new M-5 multitronic unit computer and stripped of most of its crew, the Enterprise became a killing machine — crippling the USS Excalibur and killing its entire crew — before Kirk could re-assert control. Warships of the Imperial Klingon Fleet were frequent opponents of the Enterprise.
Commander Kor held the Enterprise and Kirk in high professional regard, and relished the prospect of battle. Lower ranks chose to mock the starship; on one such occasion, Korax compared the vessel to a " garbage scow " before he corrected himself, adding, " It should be hauled away as garbage.

The vessel was launched in September and the commissioning took place on 25 November The maiden voyage was undertaken in January and the speed exceeded 40 miles an hour during initial sea trials.
The ship was fitted out with four aircraft elevators, four steam-powered catapults and four arresting wires. It had the ability to launch and recover aircraft simultaneously.
It took approximately shipyard engineers and designers to create the ship on paper. More than companies supplied the construction materials that included 60,t of steel, 1,t of aluminium, miles of pipe and tubing and 1,t of one-quarter-inch welding rods. An extensive refit programme was undertaken between January and Island superstructure was rebuilt and new radar systems and a mast were fitted out to replace the electronic countermeasures dome and the billboard radar antenna.
Depending on mission demands, the ship was capable of embarking more than 90 aircraft and only 66 at any given time. The propulsion power for the ship was generated by eight Westinghouse second-generation A2W nuclear reactors. The four Westinghouse steam turbines produced ,HP.
