The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) was a Sovereign-class Federation starship operating in the late 24th century, and the sixth Federation starship to bear the name.
The Enterprise-E was launched in 2372, on stardate 49827.5 and was, at the time, the most advanced starship in the fleet. She was built at the San Francisco Fleet Yards in the orbit of Earth.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard assumed command shortly after the vessel's christening, just over a year following the destruction of her predecessor. Most of Picard's crew from the USS Enterprise-D were reassigned to the Enterprise-E. (Star Trek: First Contact). More From Memory Alpha >>

All I can think to say is 'wow pretty'.
Actually no I have to say I enjoyed the writeup along with the pretty pictures. Helps to have context for those that had given up on star trek as a franchise with Enterprise and only just started getting interested agan with the offshoot/alt universe as shown by JJ Abram's 2009 movie. The history was insightful and well written.
That is a stunning picture; takes me back to when I used to watch the older series as a kid. It's the sort of picture that makes you almost want to have the thing in front of you and climb aboard to tell you the truth. Thanks!
