My build of the famous USS Enterprise from World War II, the most highly decorated warship in US Naval history.

There are five Museum aircraft carriers around the country. I would highly recommend a visit to any of them. Here's a site about them I put together:
US Navy Aircraft Carrier Museum Ships
The Enterprise was a phenomenal ship. I only wish she had been preserved.
If I owned Ingalls or one of the other great ship building companies, I would find a dock/place for a sixth museum ship and build her to spec with the hull complete less the engineering spaces, but with the hanger deck, the flight deck, and the Island complete.
What a wonderful tribute that would be...and I bet that it would pay for itself in less than twenty years...far less. I know I would pay to visit her.

I’ve toured the Lexington. I agree, everyone should take a tour if they get a chance.

Nice job as usual. Some B-25’s on there would be cool, too.
I’ll have to come back later to read the whole thing.

This is mainly to congratulate you on another remarkable build. The secondary reason is to bookmark this build for later use when I get off my ground pounder ass.
Great job as always.

Until recently.

Great detail Jeff. All that’s missing here is Glenn Ford. :-) Always a pleasure to check out your work.

IIRC This photo was the last one that combat photgrapher ever took:
He was killed in the blast.
Had occasion to remember him just this last week when Spc. Hilda I. Clayton was killed while snapping her last photo in Afghanistan.

Nice and the thread too. :)
After the battle of Santa Cruz, Big E was the only US carrier left in the Pacific facing Imperial Japan. The Hornet sunk and the Saratoga was under repair for torpedo damage.

Really nice job.Do you know how many hours you have in her?Also what era is the build as I noticed the low viz grey on the SBDs and the rudder stripes on the Wildcats.I built the revell model of Enterprise on vacation at the beach.I still remember that 47 years ago.Tried everything to ballast her upright but to no avail.If you have been to the P-cola naval museum you will see some beautiful carrier models in 72nd scale.Again well done.
