Great pic. Makes me wonder how well the TOS Enterprise could pull off being submerged underwater like the JJPrise did.

I'm behind the employer's firewall as usual. I won't see your images until Saturday night.

Your thread title made me fear the Smithsonian had lost its mind. I'm thinking, they can't scrap it! At least offer it to the British Museum, or Dollywood, or something!

Yes, but... where's Waldo?

I wish!!
Spockboy, this is a really excellent picture... sorry to see the "Big E" decommissioned.

One of the new Ford class carriers is to bear the name.

Love the picture! Good to know the Enterprise will again hit the seas in 2025. I remember Cmdr. Stinger in "Top Gun" wearing a U.S.S. Enterprise hat. Wonder if any scenes were filmed on the actual ship. Anyone know?

The carrier in Top Gun was Ranger, same as in The Voyage Home.

Abrams will show up to dedicate it, but we'll all know that he's just waiting to name one of the next class the USS Skywalker.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
