Its a better fate for the D, retirement with a place of honour in the museum.

[@danielmarinucci7708]

This is the perfect tribute to her, no need to change anything.

[@Greg87601]

Great send off for the Enterprise D. She saved the day again.

"I miss that voice". Yes so do I.

[@fruitofthelum5815]

"I miss that voice!" That was a nice callback to Majel!

[@AndrewChapman]

I just wish Deanna could've been in that last bridge scene and said something like "I'm only just realising how much that voice sounds incredibly like my mother.". Since Majel played Lwaxana Troi as well as the computer voice (and of course other roles in the Star Trek franchise).

I love the call back to Admiral Leonard "Bones" McCoy telling Data you treat her like a lady, she'll always bring you home. She did take care of them, getting them home safely.

[@Makeitso2023]

Shame they didn’t take care of her,lost the star drive crashed and trashed the saucer,only Geordi and possibly reg Barclay put her back together again with help from the USS Syracuse

[@Zhortac]

​@Makeitso2023 not their fault some shitty writers decided to blow her up using some.outdated BoP, just so they can bring in a sleeker ship.

[@BVCStudios]

She was never old ❤

[@fruitofthelum5815]

Worf, in First Contact defiance mode: "Old?"

[@benjaminpohl3104]

And never will be.

[@robertf3479]

As she powered up and emerged from Bay 12 it seemed to this old man that she was saying "I have one last adventure and one good fight left in me. Let's make it one for the history books." In "Measure of a Man" an Admiral visiting the ship said "For 500 years every ship that has carried the name Enterprise has become a legend. This one is no different." He was going to become more right than anyone could guess at the time. "... and we must succeed! Let's ensure that history never forgets the name ... Enterprise!" They aren't going to forget Jean Luc, never.

[@shep9231]

Because we won't let them!

[@stephenfarthing3819]

The Enterprise D deserves her status. And confirmed that she could and did so do.

[@johnm.5848]

A fitting tribute to a legend.

[@Redshirt434]

Couldnt ask for a better ending to the story of this Enterprise. Pressed into service for one final heroic mission by her old crew, to at long last, rest in a place of honor at the Starfleet Museum, to be visited and admired by millions of people for generations to come. A FAR better ending than laying on the surface of Veridian 3, a lonely and obscure planet, rusting away and succumbing to the elements.

[@danielmarinucci7708]

Her & her great grandmother. (She's there too).

[@shawnconder4984]

​@danielmarinucci7708, if I'm not mistaken, weren't both the NX-01 refit and the 1701-A there?

[@danielmarinucci7708]

@@shawnconder4984 - yes. there were a couple of ships between them.

[@AndrewChapman]

Fits perfectly.

[@richardkoon5544]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

[@AndrewChapman]

4:11 You rest now, old girl. Don't ever let them take you out and risk getting you destroyed again. Don't wanna go through that again after Generations.

[@robertf3479]

"I rest, but only lightly. If called I stand ready to do again the things that I was born to do and if I fall in the doing do not mourn me. Know instead that I met my end with courage and remember me that way. My name is Enterprise." The note about the ship "resting lightly" is a nod to another historic ship which was retired after WWII but was returned to action an unprecedented three times. "When Captain Peniston took the podium at the ship’s 1969 decommissioning ceremony, he spoke directly to the ship, saying: “. . . rest well, yet sleep lightly, and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide ‘firepower for freedom’ [the ship’s motto].” The battleship New Jersey (BB 62) was returned to service for the third time in 1982.

[@Stingmon21]

Great vid, my only critique would be calling it the "Final Cruise" of the D. We thought Generations would be the last we saw of her, and Picard proved us wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up again at some point, ready to explore and push the boundaries of what's known.

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Seeing a video like this of the resurrection of the Enterprise D reminds me of that video I saw of the resurrection of the Constitution Refit Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 where they played the same opening song at the beginning and ending of this video they played in that one too great job and great work to the guys who made this.

[@AndrewChapman]

Yes, I saw that too.

[@ShaunStephens777]

The theme from generations was perfect for this vid 😊

[@Robert_Douglass]

Theme from Star Trek Generations composed by Dennis McCarthy, courtesy of Paramount Pictures...

[@chacaf22]

A year after the premiere of this season, and 9 months later of this, I'm still getting emotional with the MsD ❤❤❤

[@richardched6085]

They may yet need her yet again in the future 😆.

[@justin3415]

This song was always great. I always called it the Time captains theme haha

[@Samtheman85844]

Give her the right send off.

[@anglandp]

Goosebumps

[@martinm.1967]

Why did they decommission all those good ships (Galaxy-D, Intrepid-Voyager, Defiant, Akira-Class, Nebula-class, Saber-class...)? The Excelsior-class had a hull-life of 80 years and even exceeded that.

[@ked1013]

Great music thanks

[@ked1013]

added to my recollection of st next gen. Good work

[@ulrichquoos9274]

Schnief!

[@andreabindolini7452]

That Enterprise X-Wing... Sorry, no. That graceful design is out of place in those hectic shots. That's not what it was intended for. The lack of style of modern directors is astounding.

[@robertf3479]

A 4.5 Million ton starship (according to Memory Alpha) shouldn't be able to maneuver like that but apparently the audiences ate it up, so we're outvoted. 😊

[@PeachWookiee]

It shouldn’t… when over 1000 people, animals and different types of equipment are on board. But without so much on it, I can see the maneuverability happening.

[@andreabindolini7452]

@@PeachWookiee this is question of directing, not technobubble

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

@@robertf3479 Yea she couldn't do that...I'm sure she couldn't perform a half roll in under 3 seconds at full impulse with a thousand people on board either....oh, oops, she did. You let episodes of DS9 and a slow moving Galaxy cloud your judgement. First, in a battle where ships are literally just meters off your hull, you don't just speed around. Second, that cube was 10 times the size of the J25 cube, she had PLENTY of room to speed around at full impulse. Also with no thousand strong crew or their belongings, no cargo and Data at the helm, I mean do you need a slide rule to figure this out? We ate it up because it's believable.
