How the USS Enterprise was lost, why America’s most famous WWII ship was scrapped instead of preserved
This video follows the end-of-life story of USS Enterprise (CV-6), how the most decorated American ship of World War II was declared surplus, erased from the naval register, and quietly scrapped. It also explains why one stern plate survives in a small New Jersey park, and why saving the whole ship was never as simple as it should have been.
