The following are unnamed Earth starships.
By class
By unknown class
Beta Capricus expedition
In 2210, an unnamed starship participated in mission to Beta Capricus, under the command of Harry Kim's Uncle Jack. The long range deep-space exploration vessel was designed to be operated by a single pilot while the rest of the crew was held in stasis. After departing Earth's orbit their starship took six months to reach its destination. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Earth researchers, there was no Beta Capricus. What was believed to be a star was in fact just an electromagnetic echo of a distant galaxy. Left with little alternative Jack was forced to turn the ship around and make the trip all the way back to Earth deciding not to wake the crew. Upon the vessel's return from its year long voyage the wakened disgruntled crew was eager to learn why they had not yet left orbit. (VOY: "11:59")
- It was not made clear if this was a Starfleet expedition, or if it was chartered by the Earth government.
Warp Delta
This unnamed Earth starship was employed by Earth Starfleet during the mid-22nd century.
These vessels were equipped with forward and aft phase cannons. (ENT: "The Expanse", "Twilight")
This class was also present in the mirror universe. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")

Background
The CGI model of this ship was designed by John Eaves and built by Foundation Imaging. The vessel was referred to by the special effects team as the "Warp Delta." Robert Bonchune described the inspiration of this design as "a kind of Romulan/Federation hybrid." [1]
The model originally started out as the "back end" of the warp ship model seen flying above Luna during the opening credits of the Star Trek: Enterprise.
According to Bonchune, "The next season when we needed some "older" starships (than NX-01), John Eaves went ahead and truly finalized the complete shape as was seen in the episodes. However, since this was considered a more advanced production version, the "back end" old style rocket exhausts were deleted and replaced with more "advanced" 'nurnies' and 'greebling'."
