"Big E", CVN-65, aka USS Enterprise, the US Navy's first nuclear-powered supercarrier, was retired on 1 December 2012 after 61 years of active service, thousands of miles travelled, thousands of aircraft launched, and multiple combat tours.  CVN-65 was the eighth ship in the US fleet to bear the name.

Sadly, there's no museum able to take the full ship, which must be destroyed to fully extract and demilitarize its nuclear reactors, though I hear the "starship" square superstructure may end up in a museum.

The name will live on, though: the Secretary of the Navy has announced the Big E will return as CVN-80.

Somehow, that just seems right.
