In Honor Of
USS Enterprise (CV-6)
1938-1947
20 Battle Stars World War II
Presidential Unit Citation
Navy Unit Commendation

Most battle stars awarded to any World War II ship. Only fast carrier to be awarded both the Presidential Unit Citation and Navy Unit Commendation for World War II service. Planes from "The Big E" flew into the air attack on Pearl Harbor, sank three Japanese carriers at Midway, and fought in five of the six major World War II carrier-versus-carrier battles. Enterprise was, according to Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal, "the one ship that most nearly symbolizes the history of the U.S. Navy in World War II."
