“Big E” USS ENTERPRISE was the second of the Yorktown Class aircraft carriers. Construction commenced in 1934 and the official launch was in 1936, entering service in 1938.
ENTERPRISEnarrowly escaped the unannounced Japanese attack onPearl Harboron December 7, 1941 due to stormy weather. Without any further delay,ENTERPRISE was immediately tasked with combat duty against the Japanese.
“Big E” provided cover for the Doolittle Raid on mainland Japan and took part in the Battle of Midway, Battle of Philippines, Leyte Gulf and provided air support during the Guadalcanal campaign, Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Palau,Iwo Jimaand Ryukyu.
