The "Big E" sets sail for the last time.

[CA-35]

One of the most storied carriers in the US Navy, The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is set to embark this Sunday on it's 22nd deployment. After this 7 month deployment the nuclear fuel will be removed and she will be scrapped. She was the 6th hull to be named Enterprise, and has the longest service record of any active ship; 50 years.
Fair wind and a following sea to the old lady.
