They do call at least Voyager "the Voyager," at the beginning, but the crews of the Voyager and the NX-01 lived on their ships, more than the crews of the Defiant and the D. They rarely had shore leave, let alone the option to take a leave of absence, or transfer to another ship. It makes sense they'd be more casual about them. When they were saying "We have to get back to Voyager," they were basically saying "We have to go home."

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I think there was a behind-the-scenes decision at some point that The Voyager sounded oddly formal and stilted compared to The Enterprise.
Yeah...'the Voyager' sounds awkward to me in a way that 'the Enterprise' doesn't. You also hear this in the real life Voyager probes.
With many other ships, both real and fictional, the same phenomenon is noticeable - if the ship name sounds awkward with a 'the' in front, it will usually not be part of the name.
Interesting, I hadn’t considered that. Though that would still not explain why even the "formal" guys like janeway and tuvok are using the colloquial form at all times, even when interacting with other species. I’d imagine especially tuvok would use the correct form at all times, just because it is the proper way.
For ENT I have nothing, only perhaps that the snobby Vulcans were referring to it as just enterprise as well, right from the start. All other non human ships got addressed properly though (the kumari, the dal‘kyr).
"I am Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Star Ship Voyager." Once it's been properly introduced she abbreviates with "Voyager."
Because the ship is a character, who is with us for the story, and protecting her crew. In both Voyager and Enterprise, that was it, you couldn't go to drydock between episodes to be fresh again nearly as often.

Riker figured it out in season 2:
Fate protects fools, little children, and ships named Enterprise.
If you add the "the" its a jinx and you end up blowing up over and over again in a time loop, or hitting a quantum filament that takes everything offline but the gravity plating.
What temperature does the nozzle and bed need to be for quantum filament to print right? Every time I tried, it made me a pair of ducks instead of a paradox, and benchy refused to print entirely.
...and benchy refused to print entirely.
Meanwhile in another Creality...
"Where do all these benchies keep coming from! That's the 5th one today!"
I like to test for temperature. Once the hotend is high enough to fuse an unnamed crew member with a bulkhead, you're good to go.
It might be a splicer issue. Have you tried using Simulation 3D?
What really gets me is that "Resistance is fyoo-TILE" until Seven shows up and pronounces it "FYU-tl" and then the rest of the Borg do as well.
