Most of them are harbor and service vessels.

They forgot the USS Constitution
The USS Pueblo is in North Korean custody.

Steel doesn't really wear out. The "Big E" has new reactors, launch catapults, sensors, propellers and just about everything else you can bolt, rivet or weld on to a steel hull. She's still the longest ship in the Navy, without being the heaviest. She is also rumored to be the fastest warship afloat.
There is talk about decommissioning her in 2012 or 2014, It probably depends upon the state of her fuel rods. Personally, I can't imagine a US Navy without an Enterprise flying an American flag. There have been 6 US Navy ships bearing the name Enterprise and two Continental Navy ships as well. Enterprise is also the name of two space craft, one real and one imaginary(though Star Trek fans would pop an artery at such a suggestion).

I spent a day aboard her about 10 years ago. It's amazing that a warship over 200 years old is still a warship today. I got a real good tour with an officer who showed me some things 'not on the tour.' They were very short guys back in the day. The spar deck had railings that were about 9 feet high, but below on the gun and orlop decks it was less than 6 feet.

Hopefully they name one of the Ford-class carriers after her.
