Ships
Enterprise (CVN-65)
|
The first nuclear powered carrier in the world was the Enterprise, the only ship of her class. The Enterprise also holds a number of other records; she is the longest and tallest warship in the world, as well as one of the heaviest. Enterprise was also the first nuclear warship to see combat, and the first carrier to launch the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. She has served in the Atlantic fleet since the early 1990's, and is expected to remain there until 2013, when she will be replaced by CVN-78.
