Launch of the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. September 24, 1960, USA.
The ship's massive power plant consisted of eight nuclear reactors, which drove four propellers and allowed this 330-meter-long giant to develop autonomously at high speed for decades. During its long history, the Enterprise took part in major geopolitical conflicts of the era, including the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Possessing unique energy power, the aircraft carrier could not only go decades without refueling, but also provide simultaneous storage of huge reserves of aviation oil and ammunition. After more than half a century of impeccable service, the ship was decommissioned and sent for disposal, remaining a legendary symbol of engineering.
