The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was the seventh U.S. Navy vessel named Enterprise. It is commonly known as "The Big E" and it was launched in 1936, being one of only three American carriers to survive World War II. This Yorktown-class carrier took part in more major actions against Japan than any other United States ship during the war. In Azur Lane, Enterprise belongs to the Eagle Union faction and is close with her sisters, Yorktown and Hornet. As she did during WWII, Enterprise plays a significant role in the Eagle Union fleet as the conflict progresses.
