The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was heavily damaged during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons and suffered most heavily of the American ships; three direct hits and four near misses killed 77, wounded 91, and inflicted serious damage on the carrier. She then returned from being repaired and fought in the Battle of Leyte Gulf (23-26 October 1944) and she went to fight in the Battle of Okinawa where she was severely damaged by a strike from a Kamikaze attack - she then went on to be repaired but the war ended before she could return to active duty .

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 two aircraft carriers survived World War 2?

The greatest warship in US history (other than the old wooden sailing ship the USS Constitution) was the aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise. The Enterprise fought in nearly every battle in the pacific during WW2, and was the US Navy's most decorated warship. The Enterprise was one of 3 "Yorktown" class carriers: the USS Hornet and the USS Yorktown. Hornet was sunk at the battle of Santa Cruz Islands, and York was lost at Midway; only the Enterprise survived the war. Against much resistence, she was "Scrapped" in 1959. The Enterprise had been saved as a war memorial just after WW2, Admiral Halsey participated in saving her. But she was activated for the Korean War, and when that war ended, she again was placed out of commission. This time, she could not be saved from the "Re-cyclers." Other than the mighty Enterprise; more than 20 Essex class (CV-fleet carriers) aircraft carriers and about 8 light carriers (CVL), and dozens of escort carriers (CVE) survived WW2. Only one light carrier was sunk in the war, USS Princeton.
