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

The devastated Japanese heavy cruiser Mikuma - a mass of wreckage following multiple attacks by bombers from Enterprise CV-6 and Hornet CV-8 - near the close of the Battle of Midway, 6 June 1942. Photographed by CP J. A. Mihalovic from Enterprise, Mikuma sank less than two hours after this picture was taken.
