If one were to choose just one aircraft
carrier that operated during
World War II to capture the story of the period in which carrier
aviation came of age, it would be Enterprise (CV-6). Commissioned on 12
May 1938, she was at sea on the day of the Pearl Harbor attack on 7
December 1941, symbolic of where she would spend most of her time over
the course of the ensuing years. From Midway to the waters off
Guadalcanal to the doorstep of Japan, the legendary 'Big E' became the
most decorated ship of World War II.
