Enterprise was the first nuclear carrier, built in 1965.

Need to brush up on that Google. The Big E was launched in 1960, and commissioned in 1961. (Laid down in early 1958). Yes, parts of the carrier celebrate their 40th birthday this year.

The Kennedy was always problematical, and it ruined several careers.

I’ll defer to your superior knowledge on this issue. 1960 seems awfully early.
