Name the next nuclear powered aircraft carrier, CVN-79, the Enterprise. The name, Enterprise has been utilized on ten occasions in service to our nation since 1775 when a vessel was first named Enterprise in the Continental Navy during the revolutionary war. The 8th vessel, the Yorktown class carrier Enterprise, CV-6, was the most highly decorated military vessel of World War II and the most highly decorated combat vessel in the history of the United States Navy. This name has served with distinction & honor throughout our nation's history & with the upcoming decommissioning of the current Enterprise, CVN-65, which was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, we will be left without this honorable & distinguished name serving on the high seas in the interests of our nation.
