Enterprise: "Ready on Arrival"

The USS Enterprise, a U.S. Atlantic Fleet aircraft carrier, steamed into the Asia-Pacific region for the first time in 17 years earlier this month. The Norfolk based Enterprise last traveled to Pacific waters in 1989. The last US Carrier to visit a South Korean port was the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, which pulled into Pusan in March 2004.

For recent US carrier activity - Please see the Valiant Shield Exercise.

USS Enterprise left the Persian Gulf on June 6th to become part of the US Navy 7th Fleet. The ships motto is "Ready on Arrival".( Boy, there sure is alot of carriers in the Pacific all of a sudden...)
