When the Enterprise was first built, before her overhaul in the 80’s (or 90’s, I think), there was a round radome or something on top of the island. Looked like no other ship in the fleet. During the overhaul, they took the round radome off and made the island (you know...where the bridge, flight ops, and all the antennas are) look more conventional.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you have a good day off? You and Linda do anything special? Did you get to ride?
What a cool Dad to take all of you out to see the USS Enterprise...and in a LITTLE motorboat. What a contrast!!

Now I see what you mean.
Operation Sea Orbit On July 31, 1964, USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) (bottom), USS Long Beach (CGN-9) (center) and USS Bainbridge (DLGN-25) (top) formed "Task Force One," the first nuclear-powered Task Force, and were sent on a 30,565-mile, 65-day voyage around the world, reminiscent of that of the 16 battleships of the "Great White Fleet" in 1907-09. Accomplished without a single refueling or replenishment, Operation Sea Orbit demonstrated the capability of nuclear-powered surface ships to operate in remote areas at high speeds without logistic support.
