The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and one of the most famous ships in American naval history, has arrived in Mobile, Alabama, for its final chapter. Commissioned in 1961, the “Big E” served our nation for more than five decades and remains the longest naval vessel ever built. Now docked on the Mobile waterfront, this record-setting carrier will be carefully dismantled over the next few years. That makes now a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see it whole.
Join us aboard the Perdido Queen for a guided sightseeing tour of this American icon, seen from the water. As you cruise, our tour guide will share the remarkable story of the Enterprise, from its role in the Cuban Missile Crisis and its record-breaking trip around the world without refueling to more than 50 years of service in every corner of the globe. You’ll also hear how Mobile became home to the first commercial dismantling of a nuclear-powered warship in U.S. history, and how some of the Enterprise’s own steel may live on in the next carrier to carry its famous name.
Along the way, enjoy a fascinating tour of Mobile’s vibrant working port and the city’s historic waterfront skyline from our climate-controlled riverboat. Whether you’re a veteran, a Navy family, a history buff, or simply looking for something unforgettable to do in Mobile, this is a sight you won’t want to miss.
