USS Enterprise (CV-6), colloquially referred to as the "Big E," was the sixth aircraft carrier of the United States Navy and the seventh U.S. Navy ship to bear the name. Launched in 1936, she was a ship of the Yorktown class, and one of only three American carriers commissioned prior to World War II to survive the war (the others being Saratoga and Ranger). She participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than did any other US ship. These actions included the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, various other air-sea engagements during the Guadalcanal campaign, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf. On three separate occasions during the Pacific War, the Japanese announced that she had been sunk in battle, earning her the name "The Grey Ghost".
Enterprise earned 20 battle stars, the most for any U.S. warship in World War II. Some have labeled her the most glorious and honored ship in the history of the United States Navy, rivaled only perhaps by the 18th century frigate USS Constitution.

That ship should have been a national treasure , not scrap metal .
She didn’t deserve that fate from her history to fighting almost alone in one part of the war. R.I.P Uss Enterprise (CV-6) Your service to the United States won’t be forgotten.
At one time her sister ship USA Hornet was the only fighting carrier in the Pacific. After the vicious Battle of Santa Cruz at Guadalcanal, the Hornet was lost and the Enterprise badly damaged. She was patched up and returned to service. The three IJN carriers did not. A light carrier was sunk and their two best carriers had to withdraw to Tokyo for repairs. Guadalcanal was lost to Japan while Enterprise provided invaluable air support. In 1943, America's industrial might spit out newer more advanced carriers, warplanes, and other vessels. It was not unusual in later war years to have our own Kito Butai with ten carriers. Most included Enterprise.
"...I couldn't bear to think of her sitting around in some backwater, being exploited in unworthy ways, invaded by hordes of tourists with no sense of her greatness. Better by far, I thought, to leave her to memory of those who had served on her when she was fully alive, vibrating under full steam at thirty-two knots, the aircraft turning up, guns firing, heeling over so sharply that the hangar deck took on water to avoid the bombs."
An absolute disgrace! Big E beat every enemy but the budget cutters.
Had a history teacher in high school who served on the Enterprise. Will never forget him talking about what he saw when the Enterprise slipped into Pearl Harbor the night of Dec. 7th to refuel and provision the ship.
Come on!This ship is like the holy grail! It’s a freaking TREASURE! Not what... ‘Scrap Metal’. D:
My dad served on her from 1943-1945. He was so pissed off that she was scrapped.
Your father was a HERO and lucky to serve on the REAL BIG E.

It feels sad seeing her 2 years from the worst thing to ever happen to a surviving ship
it is called Navy recycling when a ship is pulled from service all of its parts are given to the next ship to bear its name.
The ship that should have received the japanese surrender at Tokyo bay. Unfortunately, she was damaged and was under repair at that time.
Vicente Baltazar but at least we got missouri on pearl harbor now
So sad. I always wondered what happened to her. They scrapped the most decorated US Ship from WWII between 58 and 60. Under Eisenhower? Her and the Missouri should still be together for all to see and remember...😔

Cv-6 died from childbirth In1958 after giving birth to CVN-65 enterprise who In the build process in 1958
*quietly salutes*
Sad that such an iconic ship wasn’t saved and put on display like the uss Midway

Halsey tried to get the funding but couldn’t
The last Owarida!
Lol, that Azur Lane voice line reference. :D
I understand that she lived on as bigger and better ships, but what's sad tho, is that some of the men that served aboard her had to scrap her. Watch battle 360
Man if I had the DeLorean or tartus I would do everything in my power to help his campaign
I agree but she lived on with the new Enterprise CV-65 and soon with CV-80.
Its not the same
CV 6 Enterprise: I am Owari dead but my name never dies!
This here kids is what we call a post-war crime. I mean, if it is true that the steel used in this ship was also used in CVN-65 and now CVN-80, I can see how some consider her be still be living on. But this ship should have been made a museum, and kept in commission alongside Constitution, and while I love Constitution, Enterprise’s combat record blows Constitution’s out of the water.
yes but when you take parts generation to next generation. that atmosphere on the ship will be different. i would be glad to serve on ship which steel fighted against axis in WW2. thats how can gray ghost be gray ghost now.
Sad to see how a Famous Legendary Warrior Waifu CV get scrapped...
Whish she was turned into a museum, sad their efforts failed. Rest In Piece Enterprise ; (

Almost criminal. Of all the US ships that should have saved Enterprise should have been the priority.
One of the most successful ships in US history. What a shame.
Still interesting since CVN-65 was being built from 1958 to 1961 and CV-6 was being scrapped from 1958 to 1960.
If they only realized the mistake they were making. What a shame what a waste the most decorated US Navy ship of all time thrown away like a scrap metal
Scrapping her was a travesty
SOO SAD...
*Bones* you treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home. USS Enterprise NCC - 1701 D
Awesome if this is true. Where did you find that information? Would love to read about it.
Why Would They Scrap It :C
The crappy thing is that they couldn't raise enough money to make it a museum, the navy wanted some huge amount of money, but when the group that wanted it had to back out, the navy sold it for scrap for way less than they were asking the preservation people. The same thing almost happened to Hornet CV 12.

Its happening to the JFK now and there will be no more museum carriers after her as they are all nuclear and have to be literally cut in half to remove the reactor and make them safe.
LOL parts they take off are the radars,the torpedo belt,all of the deck guns,and some of the steel the rest is scrapped. same thing will happen when CVN 65 is scrapped the only thing that won't be salvaged on CVN 65 is the reactor that and the fuel will be sent to a disposal site.
what happened to it?
scraped :C
NYC Subway cars...
Shameful
