Portholes from CV-6 were installed aboard CVN-65 and may be transferred again to CVN-80, creating a material link between the ships. A commenter connects that inheritance with CVN-65's general-quarters response after September 11 and its role in the first carrier strikes against the Taliban. Bells or other fittings may also have moved between the ships, although that remains uncertain. Artifacts of this kind let a new crew carry parts of an earlier Enterprise along with the name.
