Starfleet's SHINY Enterprise - Kelvin Constitution Class - Star Trek Explained

Redesigning the legendary USS Enterprise will always be a challenge. Take Strange New Worlds, that is a bold take, but before we had Captain Pike’s rendition of the famous ship, the Star Trek Reboot movies took a swing at what a modern - big screen - version of the iconic USS Enterprise would look like.

Adam beams down to explore the Kelvin Consitution class in today's Star Trek Explained video!

I lost it at "super fun happy slide for Scotty". Also, as shiny as the Kelvin Enterprise was, I'd already been blinded by the Kelvin itself when I got into this reboot.

[keithrobertson]

The uss enterprise from strange new worlds is stunning

[manyrounds]

An old saying applies here, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Car manufacturers have the same malady, they get it perfect, then slowly wreck it, rendering it far from what was a success.

[merafirewing]

The Kelvin Timeline really makes me wonder what the rest of the TOS fleet would look like.

[martinjrgensen]

Strange New Worlds Enterprise is gorgeous.

[brettnelson]

I enjoyed the Kelvin Timeline movies. But I realized The Enterprise in this universe was apparently one of, if not THE most abused ship in the franchise. It took a beating from the Narada in the first film, got its Warp core kicked by the Vengence in Into Darkness, and then eaten alive by the Swarm Ships in Beyond.

[samronin]

I wish the Kelvin Constitution II had gotten a full work up and finalised. I know it features at the end of Beyond but as other channels discovered that version was only created to show from that specific angle and not a finished design. With its thinner nacelles and better spacing of them being much closer to the Prime Constitution II design in my eyes.

Gotta luv it when someone combines Star Trek and the greatest comedy ever made, Monty Python & The Search For The Holy Grail! Nice work.

[BlueCollar]

Kelvin timeline enterprise is the one introduced me to star trek, it will always have special place in my heart

[lornagroggett]

I love the Kelvin timeline Enterprise!! I hope we get to see the Kelvins 1701 A!!

[lucastedman]

Classic over Kelvin, Strange New Worlds is my favourite.

[jacobfoster]

I love the Kelvin universe ❤
I also love strange new worlds 😂
I've got zero issues with things being different IF there's a reason....such as alternative Timeline

[timr]

Not a fan of the JJ Enterprise, but I'm a huge fan of Lt. Cmr. Adam and his storytelling. Keep up the great work! Very entertaining.

[CarlosFontes]

I love the Kelvin Timeline so much. The rock n' roll TOS vibe just calls to me. Thank goodness for the comics, novels, and video game.

[bbbl]

I prefer the classic shape, but actually I prefer the Pike's Enterprise in SNW, which I'm not sure if you can actually call that the "classic" shape, but a modified classic shape.

[ocean]

i like the classic prine timeline ship design

[shayne]

While watching this video I realized I forgot about the other ships so I googled Kelvin Hood and got a hockey player, a rapper, and an oven exhaust in the results lol

[shassblake]

How can you not love Scotty's 'super fun happy slide' or for any other crew member, besides why not make a ship that an adultchild wouldn't like to have fun in!

[Obiwan]

The Constitution-class of the Kelvin Timeline is 1.6 times bigger than the main Timeline.

If a TNG era was explored in the Kelvin Timeline the USS Enterprise-D would be 1, 040 meters and the possible USS Voyager would be 552 meters.

[Genichiro]

If I was tasked to pick a Connie Enterprise to explore the stars with, I'd go with the TMP era Enterprise. There's just something about how sleek that design was compared to the other iterations of the Connie Enterprise.
