Let's find Cousin It, and one of The Lollypop Guild members and find out. Same thing, scaled down. 😀

NC is the registration code for United States commercial aircraft. The second C is merely artistic license.

Exactly

From Wiki

According to The Star Trek Encyclopedia, the registry number "NCC-1701"

...was devised by Matt Jefferies, art director of the first Star Trek series. Jefferies, who is a pilot, based NCC on 20th century aircraft registration codes. In such 20th century usage, an "N" first letter refers to an aircraft registered in the USA. A "C" for a second letter refers to a civil aircraft. Jefferies added a second "C", just because he thought it looked better."[1]

Thanks.

I was racking my brain for something funny to say that NCC stood for and then in frustration I thought of mixing Star Wars and Star Trek characters.

Later I thought NCC could stand for "No Campy Canadians" but William Shatner IS campy.

By then, I felt this thread was getting old and I would be artificially keeping it alive by making a second comment. But I guess I have right now.
