The Enterprise is pre-Nimitz, although similar.
We should triple the size of the Navy.
The sad part is that is pic was taken by a USN Sailor and posted in Navy.mil.
/Git yur ship classes straight, Squid!
Enterprise was an outgrowth of the Kitty Hawk/Constellation Class. But it had enough of it's own characteristics to be a class by itself.
JFK and America were developments of the Kitty Hawk.
And I have some serious time tied to the pier on the right. I do believe it is Pier 12.
I served in Independence CV62, home ported at Norfolk 74-77.
