Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

Note the large deck number painted on the forward flight deck – upside down. This number is aligned correctly for a ‘9’ but wrong way around for the ‘6’ that should appear on the Enterprise. Wasp (Essex-class) also had her ‘18’ bow number applied upside down for several weeks and Yorktown (Essex-class) briefly had her bow ‘10’ painted upside down.
