USS Enterprise (CVAN/CVN-65) Association

Introduction

The USS Enterprise (CVAN/CVAN-65) Association was officially founded in 1986 by a group of Enterprise Plankowners looking to establish a formal organization to help reunite with old shipmates… Mission Accomplished!

Over the years, the Association has grown in membership and scope of purpose. Today, the Association is striving to be “home” for all Enterprise veterans, workers, families and friends of the ship to unite and share.
