As jjbone99 mentioned, it really doesn't stand for anything. But over the years, many Star Trek fans have attributed a couple of different meanings to the NCC prefix: Naval Construction Code, or Naval Construction Contract.
While NCC is the prefix commonly given to ships of the Starfleet in Star Trek, there are other prefixes in use in the Federation: "NX" denotes experimental prototypes (like the first Starship Enterprise depicted in the prequel series Enterprise, the NX-01, and the USS Defiant from Deep Space Nine, NX-74205), and "NAR" has been used for civilian Federation vessels.

From Wikipedia:
"The Star Trek Encyclopedia[3] says:
'NCC doesn't stand for anything. It was devised by Matt Jefferies, art director of the first Star Trek series. Jefferies, who is a pilot, based NCC on 20th century aircraft registration codes. In such 20th century usage, an "N" first letter refers to an aircraft registered in the USA. A "C" second letter refers to a civil aircraft. Jefferies added a second "C", just because he thought it looked better. Think of it as being like the arbitrary three-letter code that's part of automobile license plate numbers in many states. '"

I always just figured that the writers of the show thought that if they gave all the ships the same NCC serial number that it just meant that they were all part of Star Fleet with really no wording for the NCC.
Have a lovely rest of the day. Happy Early Thanksgiving.

I have no idea...I heard USS stands for United States Ship, so this must mean that this is maybe a Celestial Carrier of some sort? Perhaps. interplanetary(N) ?
Interplanetary Celestrial Carrier. I hope ou find an answer...Good question.
