[Click on the small images for a larger, higher resolution image of each]

The current USS Enterprise, CVN-65 will be decommissioned when CVN-78, the USS Gerald R. Ford is commissioned into the fleet. This will leave the high seas without a US aircraft carrier named Enterprise. The Big-E has been plowing the waves of the high seas for the last fifty and more years in defense of US National interests, and doing so successfully.

In World War II, the USS Enterprise, a Yorktown Class aircraft carrier, CV-6, was the most highly decorated vessel of the war, and the most highly decorated combat vessel in US Navy history.

It is critical that this proud tradition of service, honor and distinction continue.

Please click the first picture above and sign your name to the petition requesting this...and email, forward, blog, twitter, facebook, and share it with our friends and ask them to do the same.

We need hundreds of thousands of signatures to make this a reality.

The US Naval Institute, the Tailhook Association, and US Navy veterans had an initial petition HERE last year. but it only gained a few thousand signatures and has since been discontinued.

It deserves better and needs more exposure. Let's support our veterans and rise up as citizens and add tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands more so our elected and appointed officilas will respond in the affirmative.

Looking at the second picture can anyone tell me if that is a sonar dome in the bow?

Nope, the bulbous bow design is intended both to improve hydrodynamics around the hull and provide more buoyancy to the forward part of the ship. The Reagan and Bush have them as well, and there was some thought to putting them into some of the earlier Nimitz-class CVs during their RCOHs. I don't think Roosevelt, which is currently in RCOH, will get one, don't know about Lincoln. There are apparently issues with the middle-members of the class (Stennis and Truman particularly) - which weigh more than the earlier ones - going green over the bow too easily during higher sea states and having flight operations impacts from too much pitching.

Thanks for the info. I can say from experience being in #1 pumproom in the bow in heavy seas is no fun whatsoever. One time I got pitched off the ladder coming up out of #2 pumproom trunk due to a sudden list. Netting in trunks is a good thing LOL.
