That was basically what it already was. They essentially demoted the Enterprise name.
Why was the USS Enterprise F decommissioned so early?

Dominion War attrition of older Galaxy-Class StarShips.
While the Galaxy-Class was "Sovereign-nized", ergo the Ross-Class.
The Ross Class is a MUCH more powerful update to the Glaxy Class design.
1) She has Dual Warp Cores, the new Secondary Warp Core is in the Saucer.
That has MAJOR knock on effects because your Power Output is that much higher with 2x Warp Cores that means you can:
- have 'More Powerful Phasers'
- have 'More Powerful Shields'
- have 'Faster Warp Engines'
- have 'Redundant Power Sources'
- Saucer has it's own independent Warp Core when seperated, so the Saucer isn't useless.
2) All the tech that StarFleet has learned since Voyager returned + everything they've gained since the Dominion War has been included into "The Ross Class".
3) There were plenty of StarShip attrition due to the Dominion War, many Galaxy Classes are included in that.
It's easier to build new ships then repair old ones in many cases, also far faster.
4) StarFleet Upper Brass wants "Shiny New StarShip Class" to keep up-to-date, this way they don't get caught with their pants down like with the First Borg Encounter with the 'Battle of Wolf 359'.
5) Keeping up with the Technological Progress Tree gets you to be "more ready" when a unknown threat comes your way, which for the UFP & StarFleet, seems to happen quite frequently given how they explore all over the place and run into things.
6) Emergency Holographic Crew help make-up for any short-falls to the organic crew in terms of performance in Red Alert Situations.
TWo warp cores, huh. I mean, how many times did the warp core come close to breaching/breached? Now imagine twice the trouble.
Two Engineers? One can handle both? Just look how much work Geordi had maintaining the ship -- he barely had tiem for holographic women that rejected him.
More power? Twice as many exploding panels? More powerful exploding panels?

It is technically, but the Neo-Constitution AKA Constitution III class.
If a fundamental StarShip configuration works, just keep on updating it until it doesn't work.
The Enterprise-A was the Constitution II class and has already attained legendary status.
The Neo-Connie is a update of a legend to modern standards of the Late 24th & Early 25th century.
Obviously the term "Neo-Constitution" will get re-used into the future when they periodically update the classic design down the road.
We saw a Constitution Class in the 32nd Century, so that fundamental StarShip design will be around permanently, just updated every now and then.
A good "Fundamentally Design StarShip" should always stay around, but with updates IMO.
Space Frame designs are hard enough, but getting them right from the outset could give it "True Longevity".
Kind of like how the Intrepid Class has become a Legend in it's own right, and it's descendents will be updated versions of that design.
The Sovereign Class & Intrepid Class didn't have that many issues with their Warp Core designs.
So I assume YoyoDyne & StarFleet figured out what made the Galaxy Class Warp cores so "sensitive" and made them more "Ruggadized" for future iterations.
Technological iterations will eventually fix the problems, and future operators of StarFleet ships will have a easier time.
Same with the exploding panels, that needs to get taken care of.
It's silly that the control panels explode, that's one of those dumb things I want fixed.
None of which is canon, of course.
We don't have Alpha Material to draw from, so take the Beta canon for what it is.
TC asked a question, we offered a answer.
If that isn't suitable, then I don't know what to tell ya.
The answer is that nothing is canon unless it's shown or mentioned on screen. Beta canon is not any measure of proof.
Yeah..... thankfully non of that fanwank is remotely canon.
I know, I know, but sometimes we as fans expect too much from the made-up 23rd/24th/25th centuries that have fat people, bald people, thick computer screens, and the need to fake drink synthahol.
If nothing exploded, nothing blew, and there were no real issues, it would be pretty boring.
Many of those STO ships weren't canon, until they did become canon by appearing on screen.
Hopefully, the writing Trek Writing Staff will canonize some more of the Beta-Canon material and turn Fan Wank into reality once again.
The Great Wankening.
What's wrong with "Fat People"?
Why can't they be shown on screen?
Scotty got fat in his older years, he's still a legendary figure in Trek & still beloved.
Bald people are still around, I don't see what's wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with Thick Computer Screens as long as you use the housing / shell to put in more hardware behind the display.
Nothing wrong with Non-Alcoholic Bevarages.
I can come up with plenty of things to explode.
It shouldn't be the computer console that you're working on.
I have no shortage of things to put in for the "Action Quotient".
And only those ships, and no other information about them other than their names, classes and registry numbers, or anything else in STO, is canon.
The Intrepid Class became legendary? Where was that stated? Didn't we see like a total of 3* of them throughout the entire franchise?
The only thing that is canon is that they exist and what they look like. That's it.
Dear God, I hope not.
*with one of the 3 coming from a different universe.

The USS Voyager became a proper museum. It was shown in Lower Decks that it became a museum.
That's how it starts.
Why do you hate on STO and it's lore?
Sure.
I have nothing against it. I questioned the logic of the four specific ships they chose for PIC season 2, and the appearance of the Odyssey class Enterprise-F when there was absolutely no need for it. (Not to mention the appearance of the Voyager-B when they hadn't even unveiled the Voyager-A in Prodigy yet.)
Which is a Saucer w/o the neck, fully integrated into the StarDrive.
It's a classic design, the Voyager-J took the removal of the neck a bit too literally.
