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.

Nicely done!
I’ve managed to visit Hornet, Midway, and Yorktown...well worth it!

I’m thinking the Second Enterprise

Until recently.

Wow nice thread. Really Great work!
Thanks for sharing all that.

Jeff, another amazing model and another amazing history compiled.
I learned a lot about the USS Enterprise. I had no idea how many major battles of the Pacific she was in.
My wife’s uncle was on the USS Mobile for over three years in WW2, and she had 13 battle stars.
Twenty battle stars for the Enterprise was incredible.

Gotta tour of the Big E back in the mid-80s when my college buddy was in at Alameda.

Amazing.
I worked on the Intrepid design when it was being turned into a museum, saw it heading up the Hudson one Sunday on its way to its current and final berth.
