COBI WORLD WAR II – USS ENTERPRISE (CV-6) (2510 PIECES)

USS Enterprise is an American aircraft carrier from the Second World War. Its name means “enterprising”, “darts” and “full of energy”. It was the seventh ship to bear this honorable name in the US Navy. Colloquially he was called “Big E”. He served very actively in the Pacific throughout the war with Japan. He was awarded as many as 20 stars for combat operations.

The USS Enterprise was commissioned in May 1938. It was equipped with 8 universal guns of 127 mm caliber. During the war, new, more effective small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and large-caliber machine guns were constantly replaced and added. The aircraft carrier was also equipped with the most modern air surveillance radars, radio altimeter and rangefinders. USS Enterprise took with it, depending on the period, between 70 and 91 aircraft. These were fighters, dive bombers and torpedo planes.

Official statistics confirm that 911 enemy planes were shot down by planes and on-board artillery. His dive bombers and torpedo planes contributed to the sinking of 71 enemy ships and ships and damaged another 192. USS Enterprise operated in the Pearl Harbor area in the initial phase of the war. It covered the aircraft carrier Hornet during the first raid on Tokyo (Doolittle raid). As a flagship, she took part in the Battle of Midway, in which planes from American carriers led to the sinking of four Japanese carriers. It was badly damaged during the fighting in the Solomon Islands. After the renovation at Pearl Harbor, he returned to hostilities, supporting amphibious operations and taking part in the bombing of Japanese targets. He took part in the great battle of the Philippine Sea. An operation group with the Enterprise in its composition contributed to the sinking of the super battleship Musashi. On February 10, 1945, the Enterprise supported the landing and fighting on Iwo Jima. The end of the war found the Enterprise in the Puget Sound Navy Yard where it was being renovated after one of the kamikaze suicide attacks.
