Talk:USS Enterprise (CVN-65)

message: I am aware you reverted my entry regarding the Enterprise in The Hunt For Red October. I suggest you undo the reversion.
The Enterprise had a unique island. That island is clearly visible when the Greyhound carrying Jack Ryan landed on the ship, and again in the distance shot after the ramp strike with the fire on the flight deck. I don't have the minutes and seconds for those shots, but they ARE in the movie. If necessary, I can play the DVD and get the times. I am presuming that the film itself as shown in theaters is an acceptable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roy Jaruk (talk • contribs) 16:52, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , it appears your comment is directed at , but I must say that I agree with his revert of your addition. While he indicated it was "unsourced", I believe it was more problematic than that. The glimpses we see of Enterprise in that film do not really tell us anything encyclopaedic about the ship. The purpose of "pop culture" sections (which are controversial), is not to create an exhaustive list of every single appearance, glimpse, peek, hint or mention, of a subject in every single film, tv series, book, video game, etc. Please have a look at WP:MILPOP for more information.

text: I'd restore the Top Gun entry, and the Star Trek IV "appearance" (it famously being named in the film though they actually used Ranger because Enterprise was out to sea at the time). The former because it's one of the primary settings of the film, the latter because, well, it's Star Trek and the Enterprise. The others are trivial. oknazevad (talk) 02:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, for any entry, we have to ask; is the coverage of the article subject (eg: Enterprise) significant and does it provide an accurate and encyclopaedic insight into the article subject for the reader? (which would would otherwise not be available.) Which, if any, of these entries do just that? And which ones fall short? - wolf 04:19, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  USS  Enterprise in popular culture 

message: et al. - recent edits to this section of the article reminded of this relatively recent discussion here. As I write this, the section basically has four entries;
#Yours, Mine and Ours (1968 film) - I haven't seen this film in a looong time and basically don't remember it. Does anyone know if it is indeed a worthwhile entry? 
#Top Gun (1986 film) - I believe this to a worthwhile entry and would contest removal. Thoughts?
#USS Enterprise#Star Trek fictional spacecraft from the Star Trek franchise - certainly a worthy inclusion, but perhaps a currently wordy one as well and could use a trim? Thoughts?
#JAG (TV series) - Enterprise stood in for a fictional USN carrier in the pilot episode. I don't recall anything about this show. Again, does anyone know if this is also a worthwhile entry?

message: Hey all,
I could use some help finding some evidence. My grandfather who worked on the ship has stated that he was undoubtedly sure that there were only 4 nuclear reactors on this ship. i have done tons of digging but cannot find any proof of this being true. Has anyone else had counts of this? I hate to not believe my grandfather, but I also don't want to tell him he is wrong. Has anyone seen any source of evidence of maybe a reactor upgrade/refit to the carrier he may have not known about? He was aboard from Nov-1967-April-1972, so he may have not been there when said refit may have happened. Would be nice to show him some sort of evidence. Thanks! Maxw1007 (talk) 02:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: All I've ever heard is 8 reactors also. There were 4 steam turbines and 4 propeller shafts, so perhaps he mixed them up in his memory. BilCat (talk) 04:42, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I got information about that as well, but I didn't know if he may have been referring to it. He says he worked day by day on reactor 2, and never remembered 8. Once again he is in his 70's so he may have lost some info. I'm not sure though. Maybe he was referring to the steam turbines? Worded it wrong? But I remember him saying that it was the reactors not the steam turbines. Maxw1007 (talk) 16:42, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: https://naval-encyclopedia.com/cold-war/us/uss-enterprise-1960.php discusses the reactors so does A2W reactor. The numbering apparently was 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, 3A and 3B, 4A and 4B for a total of 8, but numbered 1 to 4. --Dual Freq (talk) 21:58, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
