About Me
The USS Enterprise was First at San Diego where it was used in the movie Dive Bomber. Later she went to Pearl Harbor. She was at sea when the message was received that Pearl Harbor was under attack. After that she went out to see if the Japanese were planning to attack again. On February 1st the Enterprise’s task force 8 was fighting in a Japanese counterattack. The Enterprise and her crew either damaged or destroyed eleven ships, and many planes and ground units. The Enterprise took little damage from it.

On April 8 the Enterprise met with the Hornet to go launch 16 B-15 Mitchel's on Tokyo. The Enterprise later went to go assist aircraft carriers in the Coral Sea. The battle was over before she got there. Since the Enterprise was in the area the Japanese decided to cancel the plan for taking the islands of Nauru and Banba. The Enterprise was in the battle of midway with sixteen Hornets, six cruisers and ten destroyers.

The Enterprise was the first ship to be retired from war. When a ship completes twenty-five successful missions the ship is retired from war. The Enterprise won many awards here are a few: The World War II Victory medal, the British Admiralty pennant, 20 battle stars and the American Defence medal. The Enterprise was decommissioned on February 17, 1947. They decided to scrap it. The scraping was complete May of 1960. Some of the signs on the ship are still displayed today.
