I'll never forget the first time I saw those insane fighter jet scenes from "Top Gun." Maverick's ability to get the adrenaline going had me just about ready to eject out of my own seat. But eventually his F-14 Tomcat had to land, and it was almost always on a massive aircraft carrier. What was the name of the ship where most of "Top Gun" took place?

The USS Enterprise was Maverick's home away from home in "Top Gun," which makes perfect sense since it was the most famous carrier in the Navy's fleet. The name Enterprise had been striking fear into enemy hearts since 1775, and this nuclear-powered version was basically the Death Star of aircraft carriers. That's exactly the kind of street cred you want when you're making a movie about the best of the best.
