I’m sure there’s a valid reason, but I’ve got no idea what it is. Why “Kelvin?” Is that a reference to a character in the original Star Trek continuity?

    Because the first thing Nero does when he arrives back in time is destroy the USS Kelvin (the ship where Kirk’s father is killed), and thus setting that universe off onto its new timeline. It could have been called anything, but someone decided on that one thing.

      They need to stop putting Hemsworth in charge of ships. They keep getting destroyed by time traveling bad guys.
