In Battlefield 1942, the USSEnterprise is the United States Marine Corps' aircraft carrier. It has two spawn points, both near the rear of the ship. One is on its lower deck for easy access to the LCVPs, and another on the flight deck, right next to the planes and only a short distance from the bridge. F4U Corsairs, SBD Dauntlesses and LCVPs spawn regularly on the carrier. It has a few 40mm Bofors on both sides of the carrier to prevent bombers from attacking the carrier. It has a netting on both sides as well, so that players can climb on the carrier. A player can climb up to the bridge and pilot ship.
