Daniels took Archer several hundred years into the future to show him what would happen if the Expanse was allowed to exist and continue.

Not really. 'Ship of the Line' is an old naval term from Sailing Vessels. A ship that could take place in a battle line. Also called 'Battleships'. Its just a fancy (but valid) term.

Yes.
The full old term from the time of sail was 'First-Rate Ship of the Line'. Enterprise has always been pretty much the 'Flagship' of the Federation in any iteration. Flagship in modern Naval parlance refers to any ship where the Battle Group Admiral's flag is hoisted ( Flag Officer, et al...). In Star Trek, the meaning is different.
It was an episode of "Enterprise" with a lot of time traveling dudes. Archer was taken in ot the future by this guy from the Federation to see the future and was on this ship, though we only see it in a picture behind him.

"Ships of the Line"????
What line? Was there a "line" drawn someplace in the Trek universe?
That's completely a B5 kind of title.
