Background Information
The Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek Chronology conjectured that Captain Robert April had one five-year mission and Captain Christopher Pike had two five-year missions. These sources also state that Kirk had a second five-year mission after Star Trek: The Motion Picture, apparently as a nod to the planned Star Trek: Phase II.
The five-year mission concept was apparently abandoned in the 24th century, as the opening narration of TNG notes the Enterprise's "continuing mission."
In an interview in the DS9 Season 3 DVD, Ira Steven Behr says that, in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the USS Defiant was "on a five-year mission to kick ass."
