	Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: USS Enterprise Through the Years
		Early in 1942 she escorted USS Hornet on the famous Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, and was rushing south to join in the Battle of the Coral Sea when she was recalled to Pearl to prepare for the Battle of Midway.
		USS Enterprise was severely damaged by a Kamikaze 14 May 1945, and repairs kept her out of service until the end of the war.
		However, the Enterprise Association was given only 6 months to raise the $2 million required to preserve her, and the museum effort never stood a chance.
