Well see, I got confused because CV6 Enterprise's nickname is Big E.....hence my confusion because Jersey called her Little E.
Little E, because that was what she was prior to being combat-hardened by the sheer amount of shit she and her crew waded through in the Pacific Theater.
E was more lucky than tough though. none of the hits she took were ever really life threatening.
Sometimes luck is all you need, and regardless...she did take some very bad hits.
I am afraid I am lost......
Ohh...ok....that explains things.
Unless your name is Midway. She has the distinction of being referred to as the first 'Battle Carrier.' Her flight deck is 3.5 inches thick. Fun fact, her hull is based off the Montana design.
when did that happen?
That's an understatement.
eh a lot of it (honestly everything except the first hit at Eastern Solomon) falls under looking worse than it was. Kind of like how Sodak got mauled at Guadalcanal 2 but all of it was to relatively non-critical areas.
"If you trip, don't worry that's just her way of saying hello to the newcomers. But if you keep tripping, that's her letting you know you're not her favorite person. Trust me, I've tripped aboard Iowa four hundred times."
I'm just picturing her moving things slightly so you'll run into them, but not so much as to be noticed, then once you do she asks "why you running into things?"
I think she's claimed you, man. Accept her love. Accept it.
Joke 1: I think that's the kind of 'love' that a dominatrix has for her sub.
Shipping it!
Okay. Watch your head.Remind me to watch my head- and assorted limbs -when/if I visit Lexie over the summer
