Answer to Question for Stardate 31997.0:
: The Suffix "U.S.S" stands for - - United StarShip. (I
: have recieved many questions on what the suffix
: "NCC" stands for. It doesn't stand for anything. Some
: starships start with the suffix "NX.") The above
: answer has been contreversional since S.T. very first
: started in the 60's. There is no OFFICIAL answer to
: this question. (If you really are curious, visit a
: Naval base in your city, ask someone who has been on
: a Naval Ship. Nearly all Naval ships start with
: "U.S.S."

: Question for Stardate 32197.0 to 32397.0:

The NCC at the beginning of each starship has sometimes been said to mean:
( N )aval ( C )onstruction ( C )ontract. But I read, I think it was in Rodenberrry's biography, that the NCC came from the registry number off of an airplane owned by the guy who designed and built the original Enterprise. I hope this helps.
Oh BTW there are 246 known elements in the 24th century.
YEE HAA.
LLAP :-}
