Movies Featuring a Real-World Enterprise

Post by Varthikes »

I'm looking for movies that feature any Enterprise that really existed. It doesn't have to be the ACTUAL Enterprise, of course. Just in the story world.

I already know about the following:

CV-6
Midway
Pearl Harbor (not mentioned by name, but she was involved in the Doolittle Raid)

CVN-65
The Hunt for Red October
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Top Gun

OV-101
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen


Any others? I especially would love to see a movie featuring one of the 18th-19th century wooden sailing ships. There are a number of historical events involving vessels bearing the Enterprise name that I feel would make for some great movies.

CV-6

The Longest Day may count - she wasn't mentioned directly, but she was there as part of Admiral Kirk's western task force, and flagship of the inshore bombardment squadron off Utah.

The CVN-65 also appears in the pilot episode of AirWolf.
