The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was a US Navy aircraft carrier that was in operation during the mid-20th century. During World War II, the Enterprise fought in the Pacific Ocean.

The Enterprise was succeeded by the USS Enterprise (CVN-65).

In an alternate timeline in which Germany invaded the United States of America, the Enterprise was destroyed. After seeing the mission patch on Jonathan Archer's Starfleet uniform, depicting the Enterprise NX-01, Alicia Travers assumed that he was a sailor who managed to escape the naval vessel before it sank. (ENT: "Storm Front")

Captain Jonathan Archer kept a photograph of Air Group Ten, who served on the USS Enterprise in WWII, in his ready room aboard Enterprise NX-01. (ENT: "Twilight")

An illustration of this Enterprise was included in a gallery of ships named Enterprise on the recreation deck of the refit USS Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

Background information Edit

This is the Enterprise after which Gene Roddenberry named the starship. (The Making of Star Trek, p. 164)

Following the tradition set in The Motion Picture and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Archers' Enterprise NX-01 also had a display of the historical lineage of ships called Enterprise aboard in his ready room. In this case it was a series of four artistic prints comprising the frigate Enterprise, USS Enterprise (CVN-65), Enterprise (OV-101) and Archer's own ship. These prints were made by John Eaves, who actually made a series of five. However due to space limitations on the wall, one had to be left out. The one chosen to be left out portrayed the USS Enterprise (CV-6).[1]
