Columbia has a "u." And the NXs (including the many Endeavours) were already named with this scheme.

And shutle/spaceplane names are a good choice! But i would be happy with the carrier names!

And since it's canon that the Enterprise-D had the Yamato for a sister ship we could open up the class to names of Japanese carriers like Akagi.

Hmm Kaga, Soryuo etc your right hell lets include british Carriers and we suddenly have a massive number of names free for many ships!
 
... I feel like naming it Enterprise class or with a theme including Enterprise in the namespace would be kind of rubbing salt in the wound for the "we don't want one of these getting called Enterprise because we want to call a proper Explorer that" crowd. not to mention difficult to justify and possibly even uncomfortable in context of the setting; the NX class is still in living memory after all. even for humans, not just like, Vulcans and their Space Elf lifespans.
 
Since Excalibur is a possible name class for this ship...

Possible names for the next ships after Excalibur would be Prydwen, Rhongomyniad, Llamrei, Clarent, etc.

Given the USSR is still around in Trek I imagine the disaster didn't happen in universe, since iirc it was in part caused by design problems that came about from the economic decline/stagnation of the USSR. Was probably lost in the in universe WW3 though.
 
I really like Declaration-class. It's a wide concept so it's easy to connect to other Federation members, it's the precursor to the Constitution, and it's a bit more "aggressive" than a Constitution.
 
On the basis that one of STOs Constitution variants is called the Excalibur, this is a ship that will be as decisive in war as it will righteous in peace, and the fact I'd rather avoid Constitution for this, it's gotta be…

[X] Excalibur-class.

Eh, I would think "legendary weapons in general" would be better than confining it to Arthurian mythology alone. That leaves us open to, say, a Caladbolg, a Gram, a Durandal, a Khanda, a Kusanagi, a Téngkōng and those were just a quick cull of magic swords, not even not-sword things.
hm right.
well then in order of preference;
[x] Exigence class
[x] Dragon class
[x] Halberd class
[x] Excalibur class

and
[ABSOLUTELY NOT] Constitution Class.
(I honestly care more that we don't call it the Constitution class than I do about what we actually do end up calling it, though I will obviously be chuffed if either of my own suggestions pulls out a win.)

New Idea,
[] Enterprise class
Named after WW2 American Carriers, or after spaceplanes, So Challenger, Columbia, etc.

Huh, that's neat! Adding to the list.

Then the moment when this misconception about the ship violently collides with reality (very soon) is going to rub in even more salt, to put it bluntly.
