TIL that CVN-65 was the second aircraft carrier of its name, and there will be a third in 2028.
The first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CV-6) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CV-6)
The future third: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CVN-80) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CVN-80)

- remarkEon 6y agoAlas, I expect CVN-80 to be the last of the aircraft carrier vessels of the US Navy, so it's fitting it should be called "Enterprise".
