USS Enterprise to be decommissioned

[JiNX-01]

Will there be another? Do we need a letter writing campaign to ensure that history never forgets the name Enterprise? The Navy has taken to naming its carriers after Presidents.

USN Wants To Retire Carriers Early

April 15, 2009: The U.S. Navy wants to decommission its oldest aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise (CVN 65) three years early, in 2012. Originally, the Enterprise was going to stay in service until the USS Ford entered service in 2015. But changes in aircraft weaponry, namely smart bombs and targeting pods, have reduced the need for eleven carriers. The navy believes ten will get the job done. Plus, the Enterprise, as the world's first nuclear powered carrier, will also be the first to be decommissioned.

Damn Berman and Braga. They fucked this up somehow.

Yeah, those idiots!
