First, her namesake lives on in Starship Enterprise from the Star Trek movie franchise. When NASA created their first space shuttle, Star Trek fans cre- ated a campaign that it be named after the Enterprise and so it was. Jack C. Taylor, founder of the Enterprise car rental com- pany, was a World War II veteran who had served on the Enter- prise. The name Enterprise will live on as the third aircraft carrier of the Ford Class, CVN 80, which is scheduled to be operational by 2027. It will be the ninth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name En- terprise.
