This scene in the film brought a tear to my eye. I knew the decommissioning of the Enterprise was right around the corner. Thanks for the memories.

I would always take the big E.

She was, and will always be my number one.

As someone who loves warships, my biggest problem with the Excelsior was her captain. Jerk treated her like a machine, not a lady. Sulu on the other hand, notice what he accomplished with her.

True. I'm Pretty Sure Star Fleet Was Mad At Kirk For Always Bringing Poor Enterprise Back To Space Dock Badly Damaged And Beat Up As Well.

Good work on the angle, lighting, composition. I love the spot lights, very movies. Star Trek 3 is my favorite of the original films. Poor Enterprise. She was a classy lady, looks to be in such bad shape when returning home.

BUT I MUST PICK A NIT...

Movie era ships dont have glowing warp nacelles unless they are actually at warp.
