Description
This a Photo of a print of the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 underway somewhere in Yankee Station in the 1960's. Enterprise was the First Nuclear powered SuperCarrier. She had 8 Reactors and 32 Steam Generators ( boilers ). 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. Enterprise is now decommissioned. She was an Awesome Ship as this painting by R G Smith tends to depict. I definitely plan to purchase a mug with this image printed on it. :-) :-) :-)
