U.S.S. Enterprise
Iconic naval vessel
U.S.S.
Enterprise refers to several famous American vessels.
The most historically significant was the aircraft carrier CV-6, the most decorated U.S.
Navy ship of World War II.
In popular culture, the name is inseparable from *Star Trek*—the fictional starship commanded by Captain Kirk, later Captain Picard.
The initials stand for United States Ship in naval usage, or United Space Ship in the science fiction series.
