The most storied ship in United States Navy history served for 51 years — from her commissioning in 1961 to her final deployment in 2012. USS Enterprise (CVAN/CVN-65) was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and for five decades she carried the flag of American sea power from the Mediterranean to the Western Pacific, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the War on Terror. This embroidered apron bears her ship's crest — a fitting tribute to a Navy legend.
