Showboat!

That would be the battleship North Carolina.

Enterprise's official nickname is "Big E" (legacy from her predecessor, CV-6 from WWII). More recently she's been referred to as "Ghettoprise" and "Enterprison" because she's VERY long in the tooth and showing her age. Her most recent overhaul - not even a refueling - took much longer and went way over budget.
