What Ncc Really Means In The Star Trek Franchise

As previously explained in the pages of /Film, the "U.S.S." in U.S.S. Enterprise stands for "United Starship." It was extrapolated from the modern American Navy's use of "U.S.S." on its sea vessels. Here on Earth, it stands for "United States Ship."
But what does the "Ncc" stand for in Ncc-1701? As all good Trekkies know, Ncc-1701 is the registry number for the U.S.S. Enterprise and is emblazoned in large letters all over the exterior hull of the ship. Other vessels, of course, have their own registry numbers. On "Star Trek: The Next Generation," set a century after the original series, the registry was updated to Ncc-1701-d. The titular spacecraft on "Star Trek: Voyager" had a registry number of Ncc-74656, while the spaceship Discovery on "Star Trek: Discovery" was Ncc-1031.
