"There are always possibilities...."

Well, another thought that comes to my mind: I wonder what other classes the Enterprises could be possibly.
For example, maybe an Akira class with a registry of NCC-64678, or maybe even a Nebula class with a registry of NCC-60240.... Hmmm....

Wouldnt be an Akira, ENterprises are alwyas flagships and thus the biggest cruisers/battleships. Nebula... maybe, but its out classed by the Galaxy.

The only classes the Enterprise could potentially be would either be Nebula or Prometheus. Neither of which work with the idea of the Enterprise being a ship of exploration and the best of the best.

Good point. Still, that's not necessarily true for the Prometheus. True, she wasn't exactly the BIGGEST starship the Federation out there had, she WAS one of the most powerful.

Being the flagship means being a representative on behalf of the entirety of the Federation. The epitome of what Starfleet could produce while still reflecting the core ideals of peaceful exploration and what else the Federation stands for. A prometheus is a weapon of war. Sure, the Galxy was one as well, but also came with extensive diplomatic facilities. A prometheus would be a very different signal. First contact with, say, a prometheus would give a different message. One the Federation doesn't like to express.

A Galaxy could fight just due to great technology and size, but in terms of percentage of space used for weapons it seems to be a tiny fraction.

The Galaxy is flying hotel too. So a Galaxy class could easily send both the stick and the carrot if need be.

The Galaxy was a carrot with a shank in it.

I like that. I think I will remember that for future reference.
