Talk:USS Enterprise (CV-6)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

I removed the following from the article:

Her name meant "Boldness, Energy and Invention in Practical Affairs," according to her nation's Navy Historical Center.

The Enterprise was launched on 3 October 1936 in the Newport News yards. The ship had a crew of 1889 (2919 during wartime) and could load up to 81 planes which could be started on three catapults (two on the main deck and one seldom-used catapult on the hangar deck). During the Second World War the ship fought in the Pacific Ocean and is known as the most decorated ship of the war. The ship participated in the historic Battle of Midway, that turned the tide of the war. The ship was struck from the Naval Vessels Register in 1958 after more than a decade in decommissioned reserve and sold to be scrapped after an extended but ultimately failed effort to preserve her as a museum ship for future generations. Ex-Enterprise met her sad end at Kearny, New Jersey.

The Starfleet vessels USS Enterprise, as well as the sister vessels USS Hornet and USS Yorktown, will be named in honor of the vessel.

With the exception of the last paragraph, this has ZERO to do with anything Trek history has established and is best to be left to wikipedia or other sources. The last paragraph is probably more relevant on the Hornet and Yorktown pages than it is here. --Alan del Beccio 21:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

As the lineage of Trek's Enterprises includes this ship, the meaning of the name merits inclusion. --StarFire209 13:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
