Construction of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) (alternate reality) was conducted at the Riverside Shipyard in Iowa on Earth, and was well underway by 2255.

Her maiden voyage took place in that year, prematurely due to her being called into action in response to the Narada's attack on. 

In the 2250s members of the Constitution-class were part of the Starfleet force that battled starships of the.
