=== Launch and early missions ===
[[Image:NarendraIIIOrbit2152.jpg|thumb|left||''Enterprise'' in Klingon space]]
''Enterprise'' was launched from the [[Warp Five Complex]] on April 12, 2151 under the command of [[Captain]] [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jonathan_Archer Jonathan Archer]. The launch occurred three weeks ahead of schedule because of the need for Earth to return [[Klaang]], a [[Klingon]], to his [[homeworld]] of [[Qo'noS]]. The early launch was strongly protested by Vulcan [[Ambassador]] [[Soval]], who believed Humanity was not ready to explore [[space]]. He did manage to wrangle a concession from Star Fleet, forcing Archer to allow the placement of [[Sub-Commander]] [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/T%27Pol T'Pol]] on his vessel in exchange for Vulcan [[star chart]]s.
The early launch of ''Enterprise'' meant that it left [[spacedock]] somewhat unprepared: its [[spatial torpedo]]es were uncalibrated, and its [[phase cannon]]s had not even been installed. The spatial torpedoes were calibrated in the heat of battle in May of 2151; the ship only survived because of the intervention of the [[Axanar]]. The phase cannons were not installed until [[September]] of 2151 while ''Enterprise'' battled an unknown enemy.
