Not only is the
Enterprise
from
Star Trek
truly gigantic, measuring 947 feet long, 417 feet wide, and 238 feet high, it weighs 210,000 tons (420,000,000 pounds), according to Robinson and Riley (2010). By realistic standards, the Starship and unbuilt Sea Dragon project from the early 1960s are taller than the
Enterprise
spaceship. Add to that the fact that anyone who contemplates designing a spaceship able to travel at the speed of light like the
Enterprise
will be in for a rude awakening when learning that Albert Einstein's theory of relativity says that time slows everything down.
Robinson, B., and Riley, M., 2010.

Sure is easier if you guys specified WHICH Enterprise
Original, Refit, A,B,C,D,E, "Kelvin" Ughh Kelvin. Also star trek warp travel isn't moving the ship faster then light so there is no time displacement. Interestingly impulse engines do have to deal with this, and some of the books touch on this.

As big as the Enterprise-D is, there are even bigger ships named Enterprise out there.
