I am proud to have served on the Big E. God speed Enterprise she is embedded in many that served her! Hooyah

[@azurerainbow4637]

Thank you for your service on the Enterprise,

[@perijetton9275]

My husband served on her in the 80’s and our son also served on her and did the last deployment. Very proud day for the Buckley family!

[@stephencannon3140]

“Big E” was still serving 22 almost 23 years after the scheduled retirement of 1990. I was with the airwing (VA-94) for the world cruise that brought the home part change from NAS Alameda to NS Norfolk. Today NAS Alameda heavy ship piers are occupied by the USS Hornet museum and some of the Military Sealift Command ships, mostly cargo ships and tenders.

[@Prw07731]

I was lucky to be aboard for the final and historic homecoming :-)

[@ronofnc]

I served aboard the Bennington, Forrestal, Enterprise, and Independence. The Benington was the best.

[@allgood6760]

The Big E came to NZ in the late 60's... salute from down under.👍🇳🇿

[@Pilotc180]

RIP Big E and thanks to you and all those who sailed the seven seas aboard you

[@RobHouse.69]

Never heard of naval station norfick

[@tallguy3708]

Glad the name will carry on. So many systems on the ship were so old that they couldn't be serviced or repaired. On CVN-72 we called her the "Ghettoprise" or the "Mobile Chernobyl". The Enterprise will live on though.

[@sethkimmel9706]

tallguy3708 sure you were aboard her or are you full of beans? USS Enterprise was CVN-65 NOT CVN-72...

[@jeffreyknickman5559]

@@sethkimmel9706 He means the crew of a newer shib (Abe Lincoln, if I remember right) ragged on Enterprise because of her age

[@azurerainbow4637]

The stars of Star Trek:TOS as well as those from the show‘s spinoffs and the show‘s prequels must‘ve felt sad to hear that the Enterprise CVN-65,a US Navy aircraft carrier,is being scrapped. That ship was built long before the 1st space shuttle got named Enterprise and got put in mothballs years ago.

[@kafeelahmed6439]

If you know about the older enterprises you should know there probably will be another enterprise

[@spaceace1006]

"There will be no refit! The Enterprise is over 60 years old! We feel her day is done!"😢 Stinking Starfleet Brass.

[@ThisDangOriginalDude1944]

She will be remembered

[@rickeyhall4254]

She use to be part of Pacific Fleet,Alameda ca.

[@beepthemeep12]

I am looking for the nawal base at alameda

[@seanwebb605]

So it was a rental? Those aircraft carrier sharing programs are really changing the business model.

[@lonmcq7317]

Well done... A great Lady...

[@wambo76]

The end of an era I hope they dont scrap this Enterprise like they did the WW2 Enterprise CV6

[@andykrafve8406]

wambo76 hell yea she fuck ghost and don't want us lose her and kill dam japans plans thank her for that

[@danieleborsari6394]

[@randyo.bowling1907]

Sad to see her no longer on duty!!! I was never FMF; but still a Corpsman....sad....R.I.P. GIRL......SEMPER FI!.... At least you're not w/ Davy Jones' Locker.......

[@ThePowerfulMach5]

i thought the Enterprise replaced the 8 reactors with 2 a few years back....

[@paulcastillo3911]

It's just like to start Star trek USS Enterprise

[@nathanroberts1540]

The use enterprise won famous battle of midway in 1942 and won military honours

[@KaiserFranzJosefI]

NOOOOOOOOO please don't scrap her like they did the last one

[@lesterfrothinger3451]

Too late...

[@GamePlayWithNolan]

+Lester Frothinger, it has been over a year since you posted this and they have not scrapped it yet. What do you mean, "Too late...."?

[@lesterfrothinger3451]

GamePlayWithNolan she was removed from service in 2012, they've removed so much of her systems and will soon be removing her reactors, once that's done there won't be much left. saving her is impossible at this point.

[@GamePlayWithNolan]

+Lester Frothinger, Yes, that is true, but they are still wondering how or if they will fully scrap it.

[@sethkimmel9706]

GamePlayWithNolan I think they will save her island, her screws and her bell....

[@andykrafve8406]

We love you big ghost and be in Hart's forever and are best want you do in wwr 2 and grampa die wen on you in ww2 he said miss you and love you wish he was there see you before you go

[@zach6166]

It left from mayport lol

[@saburusakai]

The reactor excuse just doesn't hold water. There are nuke subs on display (like Nautilus) and the cargo ship Savanah (on display in Baltimore since 2008), and they didn't have their hulls cut open, and the reactors were more primitive. She could be safely put on display. These excuses sound like the same pathetic ones used to scrap the WW2 Enterprise in the 50s despite congress making law preserving her. No sense at all. She's too valuable, too much history, and some city could make a ton of money by having her on display.

[@nathanroberts355]

I'm buy a model kit toyworld cairns of 2x models of uss enterprise aircraft carrier and uss Missouri battleship model kit

[@danieleborsari6394]

Sei l unico mio amore..

[@PauloPereira-jj4jv]

Scrapped, just like the original ship from WW II....in 1958.

[@magnacartasamadams8189]
