Description: 2016 NEW YORK COMIC CONVENTION EXCLUSIVEBY EAGLEMOSSUNITED SPACE SHIP YORKTOWN"SS YORKTOWN" NCC-1717VERY HARD TO FIND! 2016 Convention Exclusive Star Trek Federation Constitution Class Starship - USS Yorktown NCC-1717This ship has been painstakingly recreated in die-cast and plastic materials then hand painted with an incredible level of detail. Vehicle measures approximately 5 inches long x 3 inches wide x 2 inches tall (mounted on base). The "United Space Ship Yorktown" (identified as SS Yorktown) was the name of the central starship in Gene Roddenberry's first Star Trek proposal to NBC in 1964. The ship was named after the USS Yorktown (CV-5), a World War II American aircraft carrier, which in turn was named after the last major battle of the American Revolution, won in 1781 by a combined Franco-American army commanded by Gen. George Washington. Coincidentally, the historical World War II Yorktown was a class sister of the historical USS Enterprise (CV-6), after which Roddenberry ultimately named his starship. NCC-1717 was the registry number given to the Yorktown by Gregory Jein in his influential "The Case of Jonathan Doe Starship" article, published in the April 1973 issue 27 of the T-Negative fanzine. Michael Okuda took his cue from Jein's article and further propagated the registry in his reference work writings, most notably the Star Trek Encyclopedia.
