| | U.S. Navy - A Brief History of Aircraft Carriers - USS Enterprise (CVN 65) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Aircraft from Enterprise, USS Independence (CVA 62), USS Essex (CVA 9) and USS Randolph (CVA 15), and those from shore stations were in the air, patrolling their assigned sectors. |
 | | In Vietnam, with USS Oriskany (CVA 34), USS Midway (CVA 41) and Enterprise serving intermittently on station, a total of 22 two-carrier days and nine single-carrier days resulted in a strike sortie count of 2,001 on 30 July 1971. |
 | | Enterprise, along with Midway, Coral Sea, Hancock, and USS Okinawa (LPH 3) deployed to waters off Vietnam on 19 April 1975 for possible evacuation contingencies as North Vietnam overran two-thirds of South Vietnam and pronounced the carriers' presence a brazen challenge and a violation of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords. |
