he name ENTERPRISE is inherited from seven former ships ofthe U.S. Navy, including the famous Big 'fE of World War ll -the indestructible attack carrier that earned 20 battle Stars againt the japanese in the Pacific. The latest Big E was commissioned on Nov. 25, 1961. The new carrier went to sea Ian. 12, 1962 for hershakedown cruise, finishing April 15 with the highest score ever attained by a new aircraft carrier. Carrier Air Wing Six came aboard june 22, 1962, to form, along with ENTER- PRISE, the most powerful seaborne unit in existence at that time. ln August, ENTERPRISE joined the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean for her first deployment. Following her return to Norfolk on Oct. 11, 1962, she was assigned for a month to the U.S. Navy blockade involved in the Cuban crisis. After returning in September 1963 from a second Sixth Fleet deployment, the Big E alternated periods in port with deployments at sea with the Second Fleet until Feb. 8, 1964, when she once again returned to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. On May 13, the world's first nuclear-powered task force was formed, bringing ENTERPRISE together with the guided missile cruiser USS LONG BEACH and the guided missile frigate USS BAlNBRlDGE.'On july 31 , the three ships were designated Task Force One and sent on Operation Sea Orbit, a 49,190 kilometer 130,565 milel voyage around the world. ENTERPRISE and 'her nuclear-powered sisters performed a new feat in naval history by steaming 52,465 engine kilometers l32,600 milesl with- out a single replenishment or refueling. In October 1964, ENTERPRISE returned to Newport News Shipbuild- ing and Drydock Company for her first refueling and overhaul. She was ready for sea again the following Spring. The nuclear-powered surface force soon transferred to the U.S. -Pacific Fleet. With Carrier Air Wing Nine reporting aboard in September, the Big E joined the Seventh Fleet on Nov. 21, 1965, and became the first nuclear-powered warship to engage in combat. During the next six months, Big E plans carried out bombing raids against the enemy military transport and supply areas, bridges and coastal shipping in Vietnam. ENTERPRISE concluded laer first combat cruise, arriving at her home port of Alameda, Calif., on june 21, 1966. ENTERPRISE again left the United States on Nov. 19 to rejoin the Seventh Fleet. Following a brief call at Pearl Harbor, she sailed for her second combat cruise in the Gulf of Tonkin. Air Wing Nine planes were again in the air over North Vietnam by Dec. 18, beginning six months of combat. On March 27, 1967, ENTERPRISE was awarded the battle Efficiency E,'.' her first award as part of the Pacific Fleet. The Cruise ended in june with 13,400 battle missions flown, and ENTERPRISE returned to Alameda july 6. On Oct. 9, the Secretary of the Navy announced that the Big E had won the Navy Unit Commendation during her 1966-67 deployment. After Christmas at Alameda, ENTERPRISE sailed again on Ian. 3, 1968, for her third Western Pacific Cruise.

Left: Enterprise launching at Newport News Ship- he name ENTERPRISE has been part of Naval history since its beginning in 1775. Eight ships have carried the name into battle, from the first ENTERPRISE, a 70-ton sloop captured from the British in 1775, to the nuclear powered attack air- craft carrier commissioned in 1961. The latest EN- TERPRISE takes up a proud tradition set forth by her seven illustrious predecessors. The first ENTERPRISE was captured by Benedict Arnold from the British and was used to patrol the igaters of Lake Chaplain and the Saint Lawrence Iver. The first ENTERPRISE, a 70-ton sloop, was re- placed by an eight-gun schooner, the second EN- TERPRISE. She senled the Navy briefly, however, and mainly as a cargo ship. The third ENTERPRISE was a 12-gun schooner built at Baltimore, Md., From December 1799 to February 1801 , with a frigate CONSTELLATION, she patrolled the West Indies, capturing and destroying several French ships which were threatening Ameri- can commercial shipping. The third ENTERPRISE spent the restof her ca- reer in equally successful deployment, for six years in the Mediteranean, again protecting American commercial ships, and in 'me War of 1812, patrolling the United States' east coast for invading British ships. After two other deployments, one in the Mediterranean and one inthe Caribbean, her career came to an end in 1823. . The fourth ENTERPRISE, builtin 1831, spent the majority of her commission protecting North Ameri- can interests off the troubled shores of South Amer- ica. During her active days, she also traveled from South America's east coast to herwest coast by way of Japan and the Pacific Ocean while carrying the honorable Edmund Roberts, who was negotiating treaties with countries in the Far East. From 1874-1909, the fifth ENTERPRISE was commissioned and decommissioned three times. During this time she made cruises to Europe, South America, Japan, and Australia. Her last 17 years were spent as a training ship for the Public Marine School in Massachusetts, taking summer cruises to England and Portugal. The sixth ENTERPRISE, in the service of the Second Naval district, performed harbor tug duties at Newport, Rhode Island. The seventh ENTERPRISE, an 827-foot 4-inch aircraft carrier, avoided destruction early in her career at Pearl Harbor when she was delayed at Wake Island by bad weather. building and Drydock Company, 24 September, 1960. Above: Mrs. William B. Frank, wife of the Honorable William B. Frank, former Secretary of the Navy, christening Enterprise during launching Ceremonies, 24 September 1960. Following the December 7th raid by the Japanese, the seventh ENTERPRISE took up patrol I off Hawaii, and her planes sank a Japanese sub- marine on December 10th. Throughout the rest of World War ll, with occa- sional time out for repairs, the Seventh ENTER- PRISE was engaged in many major battles and played a definite part in the United States? eventual victory in the Pacific. Serving as a flagship for Admiral Halsey, and engaging in such well known major battles as the raid on Tokyo and the Battle of Midway where many Japanese ships were lost, including four carriers, the seventh ENTERPRISE continued her career as a distinguished and formidable American warship. She also instigated a new type of carrier warfare -- night fighting. For the rest of her operations for the last years of war, the seventh ENTERPRISE used this method effectively. On May 14, 1945, a Japanese suicideplane dove into ENTERPRlSE's forward elevator destroying it and starting fires. After repairs in Puget Sound, she returned veterans to New York from the European Theatre from September 1945 to January 1946, and was decommissioned on February 17, 1947. jlXll-I IQNIIQKI-'Klblj .Jiivcivrrr r.rvrr.rxr mot.
