As previous noted, in order to bring additional interplay  between Picard and Locutus personalities, Picard character in subsequent Star Trek TNG episodes and movies had nightmares and flashbacks to his Borg-assimilated Locutus character. It got to a point whereby some Trekkers/Trekkies got miffed that he was having too much mental stress to operate as effective Star Fleet captain. Suffice it to state, the Star Trek franchise always "milks the max" out of all 5 series from 1960s Star Trek (The Old Series) to 2000s Star Trek Enterprise.

Although "USS Enterprise" name has been in American Sci-Fi lore for past 40 years, the first US vessel bearing its name can be traced back to 1775 during battle against British Colonial forces on Lake Champlain-New York. Vessel name took major military significance in WW2 when American aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was at one point in 1942 the only operational aircraft carrier in entire Pacific theater during battles against Imperial Japan forces. And ofcourse, 1960s Star Trek TV series impressed the "Enterprise" name as part of Star Trek franchise in succeeding decades. USS Enterprise - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uss_enterprise
