This somewhat touches me.
Since childhood this ship was a symbol of the modern aircraft carrier to me - a very special ship with legendary name.
I believe there is at least one picture of it in every book about modern warships i got. All the Nimitz carriers may be more modern and better but seeing the distinctive look of the USS Enterprise on the TV news was like meeting an old friend.
After more than 50 years of service she seems to leave the stage ...
What a great ship
