The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was Earth's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, laid down in 1958, launched and christened in 1960, and commissioned in 1961, by the United States of America .
The Enterprise was docked at Alameda Naval Base in 1986, when it was boarded by a man suspected of being a Soviet agent. In fact, this man was Starfleet Commander Pavel Chekov, who had travelled into the past aboard a captured Klingon starship, and was attempting to collect high-energy photons from the carrier's nuclear reactor to recrystalize his ship's dilithium. (ST movie: The Voyage Home)
An image of this Enterprise was displayed in Captain Jonathan Archer's quarters aboard the United Earth starship Enterprise (NX-01) in the 2150s. (ENT episode: "Broken Bow")
A sculpted image was featured two centuries later upon the walls of the conference lounges of both the USS Enterprise-D and the USS Enterprise-E. (TNG episode: "Encounter at Farpoint"; TNG movie: First Contact)
- In The Voyage Home, the USS Ranger stood in for the Enterprise, which was at sea during filming. The U.S. Navy has scheduled the ship for retirement by 2015. The Enterprise is now based in Norfolk, Virginia.
