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

This, the single best known image of the Big E, depicts her in action in July 1944, as seen from the rear seat of a Dauntless dive-bomber just launched from her deck. Another plane is ready for launch on the aft end of her flight deck, and an Essex-class carrier operates off her port quarter. Photograph by Joe Day, PhoM 1/c.
