The Enterprise has finally been decommissioned. She's been inactive for a couple of years but I guess they've been getting her ready for decommissioning. My Uncle Bob served aboard her in Viet Nam. I remember when she was commissioned with much fanfare in 1962 (I was eight) and she was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the service. I think this ship is the eighth to be named Enterprise. It was a big deal when the Navy put her into service.
Pretty cool! She gave her anchor to the USS Abraham Lincoln which is a Nimitz class carrier.
Stand tall Niner and all you squids! Saaaaaaaaaaalute!
