Pretty close, actually. NCC-1704 was the USS Yorktown, which after the
destruction of the original Enterprise (in Star Trek III), was re-
christened as NCC-1701-A.
I actually hadn't even considered the subtitle as a significant thing,
but that actually is a nice bonus. :)
Amy's a bit of a Trekker, but she had to look that up - apparently that
is "official canon" for the non-rebooted Trek franchise.
