Would Enterprise be retained for specialised carrier work?

Would the United States retire Enterprise or use her for a different carrier role?

Enterprise was too new to be an obvious retirement candidate; specialised night operations are a more plausible possibility.

Enterprise's relative newness makes early retirement unlikely. Specialised night-carrier work is considered after the question is clarified. American use of specialised night units is compared with the wider night-flying qualification expected of British carrier aviators. The possible role does not amount to a definite conversion programme.
