"USS Enterprise" was an aircraft carrier LONG before it was a Starship...


Two aircraft carriers, actually, plus three schooners, a patrol boat, a
corvette, and a sloop. CVN-65 is the eighth US navy vessel to bear the name
"Enterprise".

By the way, Enterprise CVN-65 made its maiden voyage in 1962, not all that
long before Enterprise NCC-1701 made its maiden voyage in 1965.
