Farewell to the USS Enterprise

This was originally posted a few days ago over at Bring the Heat, but still valid:
So, as I write this, the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, is being formally decommissioned, and will be struck from the rolls of the Naval Vessel Register.
As long as I have been alive, there has always been a USS Enterprise as a part of the fleet.
Indeed, the day I was born, my father was aboard her undergoing workups for a deployment to Vietnam.
Fair winds, Big E.
