Which Enterprise aircraft carrier? :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_of_the_United_States_Navy_named_Enterprise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_of_the_United_St...
Interesting to see in that list that another Enterprise, CVN-80, is scheduled for service in 2025.
Enterprise rent a cars was named after the earlier CV-6 Enterprise from WWII, on which the founder served. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Rent-A-Car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Rent-A-Car
I was also on the Enterprise (CVN-65), but I crossed the equator on the USS Badger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Badger_(FF-1071) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Badger_(FF-1071)
- dctoedt 10y agoCVN-65, 1976-79, operating out of Alameda in the SFBA; two WestPac / Indian-Ocean deployments. I was also there at Norfolk for the inactivation ceremony in December 2012. They had tours of the ship; it was interesting to see it after 33 years. A lot had changed; a lot hadn't.
