Affectionately known as the “Big E,” as well as as the “fightingest ship in the Navy,” the Enterprise racked up one of the most impressive tallies of damage to the enemy of any Allied warship during WWII. This book explores Enterprise ’s design and construction, wartime activities, and ultimate postwar decommissioning and scrapping through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published. The clarity and large size of many of the photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, put the reader on the deck of this historic warship throughout its famed history. The maritime books by David Doyle , author of over 150 books, are noted for their thorough coverage of historic vessels and his celebrated ability to locate scarce vintage imagery.
