USS Enterprise CV-6
The Most Decorated Ship of the Second World War

The famed "Galloping Ghost" insignia representing Enterprise CV-6, created in early 1942 by Painter 2/c C.E. "Ace" Gilliam.

Radio personality Walter Winchell was the first to publicly refer to Enterprise as "The Galloping Ghost of the Oahu Coast". He was referring to her early-war habit of quickly ducking in and out of Pearl Harbor before conducting hit-and-run raids on Japanese-held islands, despite enemy claims to have sunk her, through the spring of 1942.
