CVN 69 Dwight D Eisenhower

USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), nicknamed "Ike," is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy in 1977. Named after the 34th President of the United States and World War II Allied Supreme Commander, the ship has played a pivotal role in U.S. military operations, including deployments to the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, and supporting Operations Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and Inherent Resolve. CVN-69 has served as the flagship for multiple carrier strike groups, demonstrating American naval power and supporting global security missions. Over its decades of service, "Ike" has undergone several major overhauls to maintain its combat readiness and continues to be a vital asset to the U.S. Navy's carrier fleet.
