  1. She and West Virginia were the only ships to be present at both Pearl Harbour and the surrender. Pity Enterprise wasn’t among the ships present. Or the one having the Japanese sign the surrender on her flight deck.

  3.  @BleedingUranium  yeah. But the poetic justice argument can be applied to Enterprise as well. After all, the Japanese had started the pacific war from the deck of an aircraft carrier. It’s only fair to have them sign the surrender on one as well. Especially the carrier which took out half the Kido Butai including the flagship.

  5. Between her, Enterprise, Lexington (CV-16) and the entire third fleet. Were the Japanese either being way to optimistic of anything resembling a hit being fatal. Or hoping their propaganda departments would sink the ships with the power of their voices

  6.  @davidkaminski615  Oh what could’ve been. Still I did some further research and had Operation Downfall went ahead. The Big E would’ve been part of Operation Olympic as part of 5th Fleet.
