Enterprise Navy’s Last Voyage Flags Storied Carrier and War Role
The USS Enterprise sails on its final voyage from Norfolk with a history spanning wars and the Cuban missile crisis. The 50-year-old carrier, longest in service and oldest of its class, heads to the Middle East for a seven-month deployment amid piracy and Iran tensions. Crew face ongoing maintenance challenges, from eight reactors to scarce spare parts, while commanders note unknowns in aging ships. A December 1 deactivation ceremony in Virginia is set with a presidential invitation.
