The TOS intro monolog has an "official" vibe to me. It wouldn't be out of place if it begun with something like "Mr President, Honorable Excellencies, ...". Here, the more neutral, well, neutral form might fit better. Other situations might be more casual, especially if the speaker has a close relationship to the vessel. Here, the more emotional (endearing?) feminine form might be chosen. It could be debated where official logs fall with this. | |

Possibly because "her continuing mission" wouldn't make sense with a completely new Enterprise. However, Spock's monologue in Wrath of Khan does use "her": youtube.com/watch?v=xZoiKcdfPk4 but the refit Enterprise is meant to be the same ship as TOS so it makes more sense there. But I realize this doesn't really answer your question; I'm just lending some more info. | |
