Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced today via video message at the
USS Enterprise (CVN 65) inactivation ceremony that the third Gerald R.
Ford-class aircraft carrier will be named Enterprise.
Mabus selected this name to honor USS Enterprise (CVN 65), the
Navy=E2=80=99s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which was
inactivated today in Norfolk, Va. Commissioned in 1961, CVN 65 served
for more than five decades. It participated in the blockade of the Cuban
Missile Crisis, launched strike operations in Vietnam, and conducted
combat missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
=E2=80=9CThe USS Enterprise was the first of its kind, and for 51 years
its name has been synonymous with boldness, readiness and an adventurous
spirit,=E2=80=9D said Mabus. =E2=80=9CRarely has our fleet been without
a ship bearing the name. I chose to maintain this tradition not solely
because of the legacy it invokes, but because the remarkable work of the
name Enterprise is not done.=E2=80=9D
The future USS Enterprise, designated CVN 80, will be the ninth ship to
bear the name.
USS Enterprise and subsequent Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers
will provide improved warfighting capability, quality of life
improvements for Sailors and reduced life cycle costs.
The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier will be 1,092 feet in length
and have a beam of 134 feet. The flight deck will be 256 feet wide, and
the ship will be able to operate at speeds in excess of 34 knots.
Enterprise will be built by Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News
Shipbuilding in Newport News, Va.
