I would like to see the Enterprise, there has always been one (at least what Ive heard) in the U.S. Navy. The latest is still the pride and joy of the navy today.

Enterprise! A great Legacy, one of, if not "The" most decorated carriers of WW2, First Nuclear Carrier, etc. They put 8 nuclear reactors on her because they weren't sure how many they would need, and thought, well, she had 8 boilers, lol. I read somewhere once that she cannot go "full power" because it'll shake the ship so much it will damage the propulsion system. All carriers today have only 2 reactors. Not sure if there has "always" been one, but, in an interesting side note, the "original" carrier was scrapped at the end of WW2 and sold/given to japan. Ironic ain't it?
