Answer: Enterprise Destroyed

The word "enterprise" could apply to different things in this movie. After the media uproar over the death of Spock in the second "Trek" movie, someone decided to turn the movies into a continuing story, much like the "Star Wars" movies. However, it's easy to forget the major event which was unlike anything else. Yes, they figured out how to bring Spock back to life, and Kirk and his crew disobeyed orders by going to the Genesis Planet to collect Spock's body, unaware that Spock was alive again.

The major event was what happened to the Starship Enterprise. For three seasons of a television series, a season of a cartoon series, and numerous "Star Trek" stories and novels, many adventures of Kirk and his crew happened on the Enterprise. Kirk saw the ship destroyed with an explosion, just to kill a few Klingons, the enemies of the Federation.

The crew was supposed to be given a different starship with a different name in the next movie, but it was eventually decided to let "Star Trek" continue with other ships called "Enterprise".

It wasn't the same.
