Got bored so I came up with lyrics for a hypothetical USS Enterprise song

[Verse 1]

‘36 from Newport Slips

6th of her kind, 7th of a legacy

Clad in steel for a new battlefield

For a new age of warfare

Sail to war from Virginia Shores

Let her banner fly

Preparing for an oncoming storm

And her story has begun

[Bridge 1]

She will carve out a legend

From Virginia, it begins

[Chorus]

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

CV-6, your name remembered!

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

Going down in history forever

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

May your story never end

When the grey ghost strikes again!

[Verse 2]

From the trap laid in 41, her story has begun

Through the battles of the Pacific war, building up her legend

From the Solomon Islands to Guadalcanal

As the last of her sisters

20 Battles Stars under her name

She stands alone against the enemy

The nation stands and builds her fame

Scramble the reapers

[Bridge]

A vessel immortal

Three times they failed to sink her

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

CV-6, your name remembered!

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

Going down in history forever

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

May your story never end

When the grey ghost strikes again!

[Spoken]

All pilots to your planes, scramble scramble!

Enterprise ready

Engage

[guitar solo]

[Bridge 3]

Her legacy remembered

From Pearl to Iwo Jima she would

[Chorus]

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

CV-6, your name remembered!

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

Going down in history forever

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

May your story never end

When the grey ghost strikes again!

Strike! Rule the skies!

CV-6, your name remembered!

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

Going down in history forever

Rise! Strike! Rule the skies!

May your story never end

When the grey ghost strikes again!
