The other one is definitely Enterprise. Notice the big square island structure? That’s the “Big E.” The island was built that way for a “billboard” phased-array radar system that was originally installed on “E” and crusier Long Beach. It was shortly replaced by conventional radars but the square island remained. I know my carriers, served on CVN-68, CVN-69, and CV-67; and I work on all the ships here in Norfolk.

Yep, definitely Big E. I'm looking at her right now across the Roads from me.
