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.

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.

Operation Kangaroo II in the Coral and Tasman Seas with ships of the Australian and HIS-I-GRY a In March 1973, ENTERPRISE earned her second Battle Efficiency E for attack aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet. The ship left Subic Bay May 30 to return to her home port of Alameda. On july 30, ENTERPRISE sailed from Alameda to Bremerton, WA, and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, for a six-month shipyard period of altera- tions and refitting in preparation for taking on the Navy's newest fighter aircraft, the F-14A Tomcat. Returning to Alameda in early February 1974, ENTERPRISE began refresher training, carrier qualifications and air wing operations in Au- gust. ENTERPRISE won her third Battle Efficiency E for Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers. On Sept. 17, ENTERPRISE departed Alameda for her seventh deploy- ment to the Western Pacific and the first operational deployment overseas for the Tomcat. ' Between October and December, ENTERPRISE conducted routine operations in the South China Sea. After spending Christmas and New Years at Subic Bay, ENTERPRISE got underway on lan. 7, 1975 to begin herfourth cruise in the Indian Ocean. A four-day visitto Mombasa, Kenya in-early February was followed by disaster relief operations at Mauritius, a tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean that had been struck by a devastat- ing cyclone. The 40-day excursion into the Indian Ocean ended with a four-day visit to Singapore in February while en route to Subic Bay. On April 29, ENTERPRISE aircraft flew 95 sorties in support of opera- tion Frequent Wind, the evacuation of Saigon. After a 15-day transit from Subic Bay, the Big E arrived at Alameda on May 20, 1975. New Zealand navies followed. ENTERPRISE visited Hobart, Tasmania from Oct. 29 to Nov. 5. ' - A On Ian. 15, ENTERPRISE left Subic for the first all-nuclear-powered excursion into the Indian Ocean since 1964. The ship was joined' by the guided missile cruisers LONG BEACH and TRUXTUN, and the sub- marine TAUTOG. The long at-sea period was broken by a visit to Mom- basa, Kenya Feb. 19-23. Following the Indian Ocean cruise, ENTERPRISE made a final stop in Subic before leaving for Alameda March 17. She arrived in Alameda March 28, 1977. On April 4, 1978, Enterprise departed Alameda for her ninth Western Pacific deployment. From April 4 to May 4, ENTERPRISE participated in RIMPAC-78, a four nation naval exercise involving 42 ships, 225 aircraft and about 22,00 men. Maritime forces from the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand participated in the exercise. After a short visit to Pearl Harbor, ENTERPRISE entered Subic Bay, R.P. for the first-of-four visits on 17 May. Following a 16-day operational period the ship was bound for Hong King. During this period, a group of 13 Vietnamese refugees were picked up from a sinking sampan about 90 miles west of Luzon, R. P. They were fed, clothed, and then transferred to USS HULL for further transit to Subic. On july 5, ENTERPRISE left Subic Bay en route to the Indian Ocean with a three-ship task group to conduct training operations. The 33-day excursion was broken by a port visit to Perth, Australia. After leaving Perth on Aug. 12, ENTERPRISE participated in the two-day Beacon South exercise conducted with units of the Royal Australian Air Force and the
