I think I'm having a Mandela Effect moment.
I used to live in Newport News, On Jefferson Avenue right across the railroad tracks from the shipyard. I could walk out my door and see the shipyard from where I stood. I lived there in the late 1980's. and distinctly recall the USS Enterprise coming in for refit and repair. They kept it in the drydock closest to the James River Bridge that carried Rt 17 from Newport News to Surry, across the river, and it was in drydock for almost 4 years.
Matter of fact, I picked up one of it's saliors one night in Hampton and drove him back to the gate at the shipyard so he wouldn't be late for bedcheck. He'd gotten rolled at a mall in Hampton and didn't have any money left for cab fare, so I gave him a ride.
Now this article says the USS Enterprise has not yet even been delivered to the Navy, much less be in need of refit and repairs.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
