The USS Enterprise CV-6, popularly known as the “Big E,” belonged to the Yorktown class and was built in the USA. Its keel was laid in 1934, launched in 1936, and commissioned in 1938. The ship participated in the most important Pacific battles, including the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 1941), the battles of Midway, the Philippines, Leyte Gulf, and also during campaigns in Guadalcanal, the Marshall Islands, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. The Enterprise was the most highly decorated ship of the US Navy during World War II and to this day is considered a legend of the American fleet.
