I have mostly sad memories of the Enterprise. My husband was stationed at Hickam AFB Hawaii which is adjacent to Pearl Harbor. We saw the Enterprise at dock after the explosion and fire in January 1969. Twenty seven sailors were killed and over 300 injured. The whole back end of the ship above the waterline was mangled.
