Why One US Carrier Earned More Battle Stars Than Any Ship — Declared Sunk 3 Times, Still Fighting"

USS Enterprise (CV-6) earned 20 battle stars during World War 2—more than any other U.S. Navy ship in history. She fought at Midway, Guadalcanal, Santa Cruz, and nearly every major Pacific battle. The Japanese declared her sunk three separate times on Tokyo Rose broadcasts, but Enterprise kept fighting. She survived three direct bomb hits at Santa Cruz, multiple kamikaze attacks off Okinawa, and became Japan's most wanted target. This is the complete story of "The Big E"—how her damage control crews kept her alive through impossible odds, why her air wings turned the tide of the Pacific War, and the tragedy of her being scrapped instead of preserved as a museum ship. From December 7, 1941 (when she missed Pearl Harbor by 200 miles) to Japan's surrender in 1945, Enterprise participated in 20 major naval engagements, shot down 911 enemy aircraft, and sank 71 ships. No other carrier came close.
