She had a great combat record. She was the most decorated ship in WWII and had one of the best air groups in the world. She was literally with no doubt the best naval vessel in the world.

How many people does the uss enterprise employ?
It depends on what Enterprise you're referring to. The NCC-1701, as seen in the Original Series, could hold up to 500 passengers at any given time. I believe their numbers were somewhere around 477. The later models, such as The NCC-1701B, could hold over 1000.
Is the USS Enterprise a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?
She is literally one-of-a-kind. In 1958, they planned to make six nuclear-powered carriers and call them the Enterprise class carriers, but they cost too much so they only made the one named USS Enterprise. Nimitz class carriers were built later. Although the Nimitz class carriers are loosely based on the USS Enterprise, the USS Enterprise is not in the Nimitz class and is quite different. So, no. The USS Enterprise is not a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier.

What does the 65 stand for on the uss enterprise?
CVN-65 is the 65th Fleet Carrier designated to be built; some carriers were assigned a number and never buillt, consequently their number was skipped, so there were not 65 aircraft carriers built when #65 was constructed. CV-1 was the USS Langley (sunk during the time frame of the Battle of the Java Sea campaign); CV-2 was USS Lexington (sunk at the Battle of Coral Sea); CV-3 was USS Saratoga (sunk during atomic bomb testing in 1946); CV-4 was USS Ranger (only used in the Atlantic during the war, was deemed to risky to assign her to the Pacific/ulitimately scrapped); CV-5 USS Yorktown (sunk at Midway); CV-6 USS Enterprise (the USN's most decorated warship/scrapped); CV-7 USS Wasp (Sunk during the battle of Guadalcanal); CV-8 USS Hornet (sunk during the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands); etc. CV-63 was the USS Kitty Hawk, CV-64 was the USS Constellation, etc.
Why was USS Enterprise named Enterprise?
The original USS Enterprise (the first of 8 US sea vessels), was a wooden Sloop (a single masted vessel) named HMS George, and was captured by an American Army officer named Benedict Arnold in 1775. He and his small party of men captured an enemy fort, along with a small wooden ship or two, the "George" included. The engagement had been near bloodless, and with "George" being the name of King George (the current enemy at the time), Arnold renamed the wooden ship, the ENTERPRISE. Although not stated, he probably named it so for the "enterprising manner in which his men showed initiative, ingenuity, and energy (all of which define an enterprise) in obtaining their victory" over the English that day.

Did japan attack Pearl Harbor because the US wouldn't let them trade?
No. The reason that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor was because they were worried that the gigantic US Pacific Fleet would try to halt their expansion to other islands. they wanted to deal a crippling blow so the US wouldn't be able to interfere. Unfortunately for Japan, they didn't destroy every ship, and the USS Enterprise was not at Pearl Harbor so it wasn't affected in anyway. The USS Enterprise was the main ship that led to the downfall of the Japanese Navy.
What are the aircraft carrier names?
I think it must be the USS Enterprise. I don't know if any of the Japanese carriers were larger. The fact that the carriers were not in dock when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor was crucial to the outome of the pacific war. This is all wrong. The USS Enterprise was definitely not the largest aircraft carrier during World War Two by any stretch of the imagination. It wasn't even the largest of the US aircraft carriers during the War. The Enterprise was a Yorktown-class carrier of about 20,000 tons. The earlier Saratoga and Lexington carriers, converted from World War One-vintage battlecruisers, came in at 36,000 tons, while the Essex class carriers built during the War were around 26,000 tons, all bigger than Enterprise. But none of these are the largest aircraft carrier during WWII. That would have to be the Japanese Shinano, converted from a Yamato-class battleship during construction. The Shinano came in at a whooping 64,800 tons, more than three times that of the Enterprise. The largest purpose-built aircraft carrier was probably the Japanese Taiho, that had an armored flight deck and so had a tonnage of 29,300. Joe in Moraga
What are the names of the American ships in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked?
USS Nevada - heavily damaged, beached to prevent sinking USS Arizona - destroyed USS Tennessee - damaged USS West Virginia - very heavy damage, sank upright, later raised and refitted USS Maryland - damaged USS Oklahoma - sank (capsized), later raised, but sank while being towed. USS California - damaged, sank upright, later raised and refitted USS Pennsylvania - damaged (Also present and damaged was USS Utah, which was a former battleship that was being used as a target ship. The Japanese pilots mistook her for an aircraft carrier at first.)
