Enough with the sci fi fakes.

This is the first Enterprise that should first pop into mind when that name is mentioned, USS Enterprise (CV-6)

It is a tragedy that the U.S. Navy allowed the most decorated and historic carrier in World War II to be scrapped in order to save $2 million.

The other real Big E -- CVN 65 (photo taken 9/21/2003). 

Still going strong after 40+ years and still the fastest carrier in the fleet.

My dad was a Marine Gunnery Sergeant and assigned to the forward anti aircraft batteries of the Enterprise beginning in early December, 1941 until injured in action off Guadalcanal in mid 1942. He fought in the Battle of Midway and all the other action early in the war when the Enterprise was virtually the only U.S. carrier in action. After being injured he was reassigned stateside, commissioned, and eventually retired in 1962. CV-6 had a glorious combat record and it was tragic to send her to the scrap heap.

This is more then sci-fi trickery. I find tihs interesting due to the fact the name Enterprise has a historical legend (expcet with the French). Heck even the Rebs had a ship named Enterprise.
