USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier CV-6 CVN-65 DVD
This DVD is a collection of films on one of the Enterprise carriers - the CVN-65 USS Enterprise. She was the world's first nuclear-powered carrier in 1958 and the eighth United States naval vessel to bear the name USS Enterprise. She was constructed by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Virginia. Like her predecessor of World War II fame (CV-6), the Enterprise carrier is nicknamed "Big E".
At 1,123 ft, she is the longest naval vessel in the world. Her 93,284 long tons displacement ranks her as the 11th-heaviest super-carrier and she has a crew of some 4,600 people.
The only ship of her class, Enterprise was slated for retirement in 2013, when she would have served for 51 consecutive years, longer than any other U.S. aircraft carrier in American history.
