Hero Ships: 1x5

USS Enterprise

The original Enterprise, CV-6, gained immortality as “The Fighting Lady” of World War II. But despite her glorious history, she was sent to the scrap yard, only to be redeemed with the 1961 commissioning of CVN-65, the world’s first nuclear-powered carrier. Today the USS Enterprise remains on the high seas and on the front lines of America’s military engagements.
