You gotta think...

If a star ship keeps its "number" when a new one of the same name replaces it...

Like 1701 -> 1701-A, etc.

That means they created 1700 star ships not call "Enterprise" first (after "NX-01").

Why would they do that?

What was the massive lul in ships called "Enterprise" caused by?

@revk maybe when they switched to the NCC classifications, the Federation was big enough that Earth got assigned the 17xx series to name, and other planets got other series.

(*) I suspect this theory wouldn't stand up to any trekkie with deep Federation history knowledge!

@revk in reality, I think ship registries are as rigourously defined to Star Trek writers as stardates are, so they just pick numbers that sound good.
