The fates of the other two US carriers of Midway are interesting.
Hornet (from which B-25's had raided Tokyo) was lost at the Battle of Santa Cruz in October of 1942.
She was damaged by torpedo hits, taken in tow, hit again, and declared a total loss so thus the US tried to scuttle her with destroyers, but before they could finish off her, the Japanese fleet chased them away and was finally sunk by torpedoes from 2 Japanese destroyers.
Enterprise survived the war and became the most decorated US warship in WW2. recieving 20 battle stars (most for any US warship), only carrier to recieve both a Presidential Unit Citation and Navy Unit Citation and recieved 5 other significant awards that even included a British Admirality pennant.
She was seriously damaged on 7 occasions by bombs and kamakazes and lightly damaged 9 times. She claimed 911 enemy planes shot down by her guns and fighters, 71 ships sunk (that included Akagi, Kaga, and Hiryu) another 192 ships damaged and or sunk.
Her battle history included: [1942] Raids on instalations at the Gilbert and Marshal Islands, Wake Island Raid, Marcus Island Raid, Doolittle Tokyo Raid, Battle of Midway, Occupation of Guadalcanal, Battle of Stewart Islands, Battle of Santa Cruz, Battle of Solomon Islands [1943] Occupation of Rennel Island, Gilbert Island Occupation, Kwajalein Atol Raid, [1944] Marshall Island Occuption, Truk Islands Raid, Jaluit Raid, Pelau-Woleai-Yap Islands Raids, another Truk Islands Raid, Marianas Islands Occupation, Battle of Philippean Sea, Occupation of Palau, Formosa Raid, Occupation of Leyte Island, Raids on the Philippean Islands. [1945] Raids on Tokyo and Japanese main Islands, Occupation of Iwo Jima, and finally the Occupation of Okinawa.
She was a literal time machine for the battles of the Pacific war. However what was the fate of the most decorated US warship?
after victory voyages after the surrender she was dry docked at Bayonne, New Jersey. She was never modernized and thus mothballed. Attempts were made to save her but proper funds could never be attained. In 1958 The battle hardend Enterprise was brought to Kearny, New Jersey for the biggest indignity of an experienced warship. She was sold for scrap for $561,333. Slowly eaten away over 2 years; her final Battle and the only one she lost was finished in March of 1960 when Enterprise finally was no more.
However there still are pieces of her around: Her anchor is at the Washington Navy Yard, Her battle history plaque is with her elevator tower which is at the Navy-Marine Corps football stadium at the Navy Academy{the ships bell is here also} The fantail portion of the ship with "Enterprise" on it is in River Vale, New Jersey.
A sad ending to a great ship but interesting nontheless.
