Ever wonder what the USS in front of ship names on Star Trek stands for? Starship Enterprise from wikipedia explains: “The USS Enterprise was once referred to as the ‘United Space Ship Enterprise’, but ever since has always been ‘United Star Ship’. Since Starfleet is unrelated to the United States armed forces any similarity between this awkward phrase and the American warship prefix ‘United States Ship’ must be strictly coincidental.”
