    "USS Enterprise. A fighting city of steel. She is the most revered and decorated ship of World War II. On this 360-degree battlefield, where threats loom on the seas, in the skies, and in the ocean depths, the Enterprise's enemies could be anywhere, and EVERYWHERE. There's nowhere to run, when the battle is all around you. Battle 360-USS Enterprise!" Yep, this ship got its own documentary series in the style of Dogfights and Greatest Tank Battles that spanned its entire military career.

She served straight from Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Leyte Gulf. She was even given the Presidential Unit Citiation. That is recognition from the President of the United States. No other ship in the US navy has ever earned that distinction. Also, Infographics lightly mentioned Enterprises impressive feats. If they did, this infographics segment would be two hours long.

After some time, the ship will be stricken from the list of available ships, it is now up for sell. What happens depending on who buys the ship.

      In the past history of our American democracy, there were unlimited terms for the U.S.A Presidents. Mr. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s progressive policies, such as the New Deal, which created the social security payments for the elderly senior citizens in America was so overwhelmingly popular that the American voters always voted for Mr. President FDR to be re-elected. When Mr. President FDR passed away very suddenly during the beginning of his fourth term as the President, that’s when Mr. President Harry Truman resumed the Presidency. The republicans were given the fair chance to try to win elections, although the republicans continued to lose to the more progressive Democrats during every Presidential election. As an effort to make it more possible for them to have an actual chance to win in the elections, the republicans amended the constitution to limit the Presidency to only two terms for any President.
      That’s true.
      As a very young American generation Z baby and a very young American college graduate with my political science degree, I’m looking forward to campaigning to be our President when I will be old enough for the job in the future.
      I will be our very first straight male Native American Indian U.S.A President when I win my two terms as our President, because of my fellow American citizens electing me and
      re-electing me to be our American President.
      I will bring a woman of color, Madam Vice President Alexandria Ocasio Cortez with me to be our Vice President when I am our U.S.A President.
      The future is going to be very positive and successful.
      Our multiracial and multiethnic American democracy will prevail.

      She does, in every Star Trek episode and movie. Captain Archer had a picture of this ship in his ready room, not the nuclear carrier.

    I love your video at large but i will advice everybody who is into cryptos to Stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys. If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream may be lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.
    imagine being rich, being too lazy and ignorant to come to even the slightest agreement. Let's petition to fire the government or take from their pocket Money is good for only three things : fun, investing, and giving.

      I wanna invest my money on crypto. Bitcoin trading is great, unlike the stock market and other financial markets, bitcoin has no centralized location, since it operates 24hours a day in different parts of the world
