This wooden ship lasted a lot longer
en.wikipedia.org

of course while its still commissioned (a wooden hulled frigate outlasting the first nuclear carrier...) its not exactly part of naval operations anymore the way the Big E still is for a time.

The previous Enterprise (CV-6) was broken up for scrap. I wonder if that will happen to CVN-65? I also wouldn't mind seeing another carrier in the future with the same name, or named Yorktown, or named after one of the other early WWII carriers, rather than naming them after politicians (and not even long dead "legendary" politicians, but people that are still alive.
