Over the course of four years, USS Enterprise and the men who crewed it, engaged in some of the fiercest, multi-front battles ever seen in modern combat. It was the only ^carrier to be front and centre in every major sea conflict in the Pacific. Each battle was marked by intense firepower, instinct and a 360° coordination between the carrier, the destroyers, the aircraft above and the submarines below.
