Working right next door to the airline, I watched these two big planes do Ьаttɩe in the open sea with his F-5 as the eпemу player. I still love looking at jets and old WWII planes when I get the chance. I’m Sandy Friezner as an electronic engineer where he worked for 12 years.

The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise is credited with making the American navy a superpower

The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier ever built carries one of the most famous names in flattop history: Enterprise. Designed as the nucleus of a nuclear-powered task force that could travel indefinitely without fuel replenishment, the USS Enterprise set the standard for all U.S. aircraft carriers to the present day. In August 1950 the chief of naval operations, Adm. Forrest Sherman, requested a feasibility study for nuclear- power ed aircraft carrier s. A shore-based nuclear reactor was built as a test, and based on the success of the so-called A1W reactor authorization, and funds for a nuclear carrier was approved in 1958. USS Enterprise was commissioned in November 1961. It was 1,123 feet long, the longest aircraft carrier ever built, and displaced 93,284 tons fully loaded. Its eight A2W reactors, a development of the A1W, could together generate an amazing 280,000 shaft horsepower, driving Enterprise’s four propellers to a speed of more than thirty-five knots...
