To whom was the USS Enterprise (CV-6) sold to?
- Some scrapping company, dunno who exactly. Usually takes a couple years to take apart a carrier completely. Stan 01:28, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
According to Steven Ewing in his 1982 book "USS Enterprise (CV-6), the Most Decorated Ship of World War II", she was sold to Lipsett for scrap and dismantled in 1958. The location was Kearny, New Jersy on the Hackensack River.
- Such a sad end to a true fighting ship. Its shame that she was scrapped rather then preserved.

- I agree. Ships like that ought to be preserved for future generations. TomStar81 21:53, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
