USS Enterprise (CV-6): The Most Decorated Ship of World War II - A Pictorial History by Steve Ewing
"The USS Enterprise, commissioned in 1938, saw service in World War II from the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the Okinawa campaign in 1945. The battles that the ship participated in span the whole history of the Pacific War - Midway, Guadalcanal, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz Islands, Gilbert Islands, Kwajalein, Truk, New Guinea, Saipan, Philippine Sea, Yap Island, Leyte, Luzon, Iowa Jima and Okinawa. She was to lose the last battle, however, as she was scrapped in 1958.
The Enterprise will live on in the annals of United States naval history as the most decorated ship of World War II.
The author presents a detailed narrative of the ship's twenty-year history including 130 black and white and color photographs."
