In the original pretemporal cold war timeline. The NX-01 Enterprise was commanded by Sexual Icon Admiral Forrest with first officer Archer. Soval allowed this mission since he trusted Forrest more than Archer. Forrest botched the mission horribly and Archer took command and saved what was left of the NX-01. Once back to earth Soval decided that Archer had proved himself but also mandated a Vulcan observer on the next NX class ship that Archer would command NX-02 Columbia. This is why in the prime timeline NX-01 is unmentioned because it was destroyed on its maiden voyage.
