Description

This a Photo of a 1974 print of the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 sitting in drydock at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA. She was 1,123 ft. ( 342.3 M ) long which is 200 ft. short of a quarter mile and 31 ft. longer that the Nimitz class carrier. Enterprise was the First Nuclear powered SuperCarrier. She had 8 Reactors and 32 Steam Generators. Each of her 4 Main Engines were capable of producing 70,000 HP. Enterprise was the Fastest Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier in the Fleet, capable of doing more than the advertised 30 knots ( ~34MPH ) She was always the "Carrier With Class". I served on board the Enterprise for almost 10 1/2 years between 1967 and my retirement in 1989. As the Reactor Department Leading Chief and Acting Command Chief I had the opportunity to do a closeout walk under the ship with Capt. Rocky Spane. It was beyond words. She was an Awesome Ship as this photo taken by " ELLIS 74 " tends to show.
