About USS Enterprise

USS Enterprise (CVN-65), formerly CVA(N)-65, is a decommissioned United States Navy aircraft carrier. In 1958, she became the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States Navy, and the world, as well as the eighth United States naval vessel to bear the name. Like her predecessor of World War II fame, she is nicknamed "Big E". At 1,123 feet (342 m), she is the longest naval vessel ever built and the only ship of her class, which was originally planned to have five other ships. Her 93,284-long-ton (94,781 t) displacement ranks her class as the third-largest carrier class, after the Nimitz class and the Gerald R. Ford class. Enterprise had a crew of some 4,600 service members.

The largest aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise, if you took it out of the water and flipped it up vertically, it would be taller than the Eiffel Tower.

  1. There you go. Also, was it the USS Enterprise? I had to stop saying anything. I know, no, no, glad I've got that in because otherwise that sounds like a Nazi ship chasing after them, the USS Enterprise. I was thinking to myself, there'll be so many letters, but I just didn't want to interrupt your flow. Yeah, the USS Enterprise. So Patrick Stewart, before he was an actor, he was a local journalist.
