Enterprise CV-6. A great ship being towed to be scraped in 1958. It was the most decorated ship from WWII. It participated in most Pacific campaigns during the war. Attempts to save the ship failed. By 1961, she had been scrapped for Detroit auto metal.

Other Days

USCG Enterprise WCV-6 sat outside the Newport Shipyard, fighting off the urge to doze. It was a beautiful day, the sky was clear, with just enough of an ocean breeze to keep her cool. It wasn't often she could truly relax outside of port. Even now that she was in service with the Coast Guard, she almost always had aircraft aloft, patrolling the surrounding waters. She would launch her aircraft soon enough, but for now she was waiting.

The Navy had finally finished her successor. CVN-65, the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Enterprise didn't quite understand the concept, something about radioactive rocks making steam, but those in charge believed it was the future. CVN-65 was not only supposed to be the largest carrier afloat, but the fastest. Enterprise had been shown the stats for the new ship to bear her name, and she had to admit they were impressive.

A horn sounded, and she glanced up as a large bow rounded the corner. The ship that was revealed was nearly half again as long as her, over twice as wide at her widest point, and nearly three times her displacement. She was also brand new.

CVN-65 U.S.S Enterprise, eighth of her name was untested, had never seen combat, not even war games…but WCV-6 had a good feeling about her.

“Hello little sister, I've been ordered to oversee your sea trials.”

“Little sister?” CVN-65 glanced down at the lead tug guiding her curiously. “Aren't I the only member of my class so far?

The tug chuckled and spoke to WCV-6, “We hadn't told her about you yet, we wanted to surprise her.”

Enterprise chuckled, “Of course. CVN-65, has anyone told you the significance of the name you have been christened with?”

“The name Enterprise is one of the United States longest legacys,” CVN-65 recited dutifully, ��from the first ship to bear the name serving in the revolutionary war,  to the latest and most famous of the line, the recently retired Yorktown class U.S.S. Enterprise CV-6, which served with distinction in the Pacific theater of the Second World War, becoming the most decorated American vessel of the war.”

The new supercarrier tilted her head curiously at the smaller carrier. “If it's not rude, may I ask what class you are? I don't recognize it, but you're oddly familiar…”

The tugboats and WCV-6 chuckled. “I've been refit since my Navy days,” the Carrier explained, “I am a Yorktown class.”

CVN-65’s eyes shot wide, “But that means…”

A whistle sounded and her Coast Guard Flag was lowered and replaced with the Flag of the United States Navy.

The Carrier smirked, “I was transferred, not retired.” She corrected, “and I’ve been temporarily given back to oversee your Trials. For the duration of your trials, I am once again, CV-6 U.S.S. Enterprise.”

I guess I know what I’m doing for the rest of the night.
