The NX-01 was a testbed ship for new technology. It was the first Warp 5 starship, it got refitted with better weaponry to combat the dangers of deep space, and then [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/nx-01-refit-diagram/ Drex Files] shows us schematics of it being fitted with a secondary hull in the never produced 5th Season. It's not far fetched to extrapolate that whenever improved technology is developed, it was tried on the testbed ship, and thus little by little it became the prototype for the Constitution class.

Why the extensive refit in [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitlebz03k14u?from=Main.StarTrekTheMotionPicture ST:TMP] instead of building a completely new ship? Testbed for the new hull type. Other Constitution II ships were later built according to the data gathered from its performance.

The M-5 computer? Testbed. The husky female computer voice? Testbed.

This is why the ship was being retired in [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarTrekIIITheSearchforSpock ST3:TSFS], although the Admiral got the years wrong: the Enterprise was not 20 years old, but ''120''.

This also explains why the new Enterprise felt so strange to Scotty in [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier ST5:TFF]. It was built directly into the Constitution II class, so it lacked all the legacy structures that the old one gathered during its long history.

And finally, this explains why the NX-01 was never mentioned in the other series, despite its importance in creating the Federation: '''it was always there, right from the beginning!'''
