A correction to my post, the Enterprise is still active.
Columbia or Constellation?

Constellation is CVN 64 and still active...

I like Columbia, though... or maybe Challenger.

All of the WWII fleet carrier names should be represented: Saratoga, Lexington, Wasp, etc. Note that Britain's Royal Navy has maintained Ark Royal as an active vessel name,

The USS Constelation (docked in Boston) and the USS Constitution (docked in Baltimore), Post-Revolutionary War frigates are technically still commissioned ships in the US Navy. Accordingly, we can't use those names.
I will support a new carrier named USS Columbia.
