USS Enterprise (CVN-65), formerly CVA(N)-65, is a decommissioned
United States Navy aircraft carrier. She was the first nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier and the eighth United States naval vessel to bear the
name. Like her predecessor of World War II fame, she is nicknamed "Big
E". At 1,123 feet (342 m), she is the longest naval vessel ever built.
Her 93,284-long-ton (94,781 t) displacement ranks her as the
12th-heaviest carrier, after the ten carriers of the Nimitz class and
USS Gerald R. Ford. Enterprise had a crew of some 4,600 service
members.The only ship of her class, Enterprise was, at the time of
inactivation, the third-oldest commissioned vessel in the United
States Navy after the wooden-hulled USS Constitution and USS Pueblo.
She was inactivated on 1 December 2012, and officially decommissioned
on 3 February 2017, after over 55 years of service. She was stricken
from the Naval Vessel Register the same day.
