[About Kirk getting a new ship called "Enterprise" or "Enterprise II"]

I'm under the impression that once a ship is destroyed/scrapped in the
present day navy, the ship's name is free to be used again.  This would
permit Kirk's new ship the be christened "Enterprise" since no other
ship in the fleet has this name.  Personally, I prefer names like the
"Vincible", the "Pervious", or the "Pregnable" (I mean, calling a ship
the "Indestructable" is asking for trouble :-).
