I remember reading about her 3 day refit following the Battle of the Coral Sea and how she steamed towards Midway with repairs still being completed. As I recall, they had staggered blackouts around Oahu to ensure they had enough power to make the deck repairs working around the clock. The Japanese had actually thought she was sunk.

A quibble (because someone’s going to point it out): the ship that underwent a three-day repair job between Coral Sea and Midway was the Yorktown. The Enterprise and Hornet missed the battle by a couple of days.*

You’re right about the rolling blackouts, though. And IIRC, she sailed with yardworkers still aboard patching things together.

*Another one of those pesky “what-ifs” — what if Halsey had made it to the Coral Sea in time? Possibly disaster for the Japanese; or, Halsey being Halsey, perhaps a too-aggressive pursuit that led to the loss of his own carriers.

Right. I think Survey1215 just had a brain fart. The page he/she linked properly calls CV-6 the USS Enterprise.

Yup, brain fart. I meant Enterprise, of course.

Ack, my own brain fart. Good catch.

I just IDed another ship in the Fort Eustis mothball fleet.

It’s the N/V Savannah. The US’ only nuclear powered civilian vessel, a combined cargo passenger vessel.
