Historical Significance:
USS Enterprise (CV-6) was a Yorktown-class aircraft carrier that earned 20 battle stars during World War II, more than any other U.S. warship. Commissioned in 1938, Enterprise participated in the Doolittle Raid, Battle of Midway, Guadalcanal Campaign, Battle of the Philippine Sea, and numerous other critical operations. The carrier survived multiple direct hits and near-misses, earning her reputation as the "fightingest ship" in the U.S. Navy and becoming a symbol of American naval power during the Pacific War.
