Essex_Hull_Separation
Of course, any Federation vessel to carry the name Enterprise must be capable of some form of Saucer Separation, since all Federation vessels to carry the name have always been capable of this in some form, and the Essex-class is meant to be able to due just that. Dubbed Tactical Hull Separation, I imagine that hull separation at this point would be part of the standard tactical abilities available to some of the ships-of-the-line at this point in the early 25th century, which I also imagine was pioneered by the Prometheus-class.
